A spiral of reality analysis corresponding with OSTW

Below we are showing the inclusion of qOSTW into an specific case study analysis; we will show its place while acquiring knowledge about the world. Why have I called this approach a spiral of analysis (an analysis spiral)?
In this method, we start from a particular level and we get back to it, using the abstract and the qOSTW level on the way.

Researcher’s steps (particular activities)
Tasks executing spiral’s step
Spiral’s step
Extracting from a group all specimen of the specimen subgroup that contain attributes interesting to us (e.g., isolation of sick patients with specific symptoms)
Noticing the problem (specific level)
Diagnosis at the level of knowledge
Defining classes by specifying constitutive attributes and the class name (Disease X manifested by a set of symptoms: M, N, T)
Location of a problem, immersion in knowledge (abstract level)
Defining of a subclass based on a distinguishing attribute (disease X, gene mutation AB)
Creation of the qOSTW matrix for the case.
Identification of orders and key positions, relations and major systems (qOSTW level)
qOSTW matrix
qOSTW substantiation for this case.
A modified Y process resulting from the mutated component of an organism Z. What in qOSTW language means: modification of a system with significant position in the order, which has affected a change in the functionality of this order.
Identification of problems identified in the orders or identification of orders’ functionality, changes produced and stakeholders.
qOSTW analysis

Translating the results of the qOSTW analysis into a language and concepts of the field where a considered a problem belonged to
Diagnosis at the level of knowledge (abstract)
Choice of therapy and medical operations, drug selection
Creating a solution strategy
Abstract level
Covering patients with a treatment agreed
Using the strategy
The specific  level
