    an operation set of one or more operations, each operation having a choice set of one or more operation choices associated with the respective operation;

    one or more rule sets, each rule set associated with one of the choice sets, and one or more of the rule sets having one or more rules that constrain the choice set to produce an offered choice set, the offered choice set having a subset of the operation choices of the choice set, the offered choice set presented to a user on an output of the computer system; and

    a feed back mechanism monitoring selection information about one or more selections of operations and one or more selections of operation choices iteratively selected by the user, the selections of operation choices changing an interim result, the feed back mechanism feeding back the selection information to the rule sets, one or more rules in one or more respective rule sets parameterized by the selection information to replace the offered choice set with a new offered choice set that is constrained by the rule set parameterized by the selection information.
