A.1.RI:10 - Architectural Rationale

Object continuity and observation identity answer different questions. Relating two observations to one object can be a substantive result of reasoning: a motion account connects positions, or lifecycle information distinguishes runs. The observations can retain different claims after that result is obtained.

The common construction couples three contributions: a criterion of continuation, constraints connecting observations, and a comparison of the connections relevant to use. Spatial motion supplies one realization. Lifecycle and other subject rules supply different realizations of the same Method.

A.1 supplies the general individuation question. This member develops observation-based reidentification without requiring the object to be recognized as a holon or system. C.2.1 retains the episteme questions, and C.16 supplies measurement interpretation. Their distinct results can participate in one investigation.
