A.10:4.1 - Start with the relied-on claim

Name the C.2.1 episteme and select the claim or proposition being relied on from its ClaimGraph. Recover that claim’s subject, interpretation basis, polarity or status when current, and uncertainty or qualification when relevant. If the claim is used as evidence for another target claim, name that target separately under A.2.4. When the selected claim states a local result, use the pattern that defines or tests that result: C.16 for measurement, C.28 for causal support, A.19 for comparison or selection, G.4 for an acceptance-clause application, A.21 for a gate decision, C.11 for an option-set choice, and the applicable formal, diagnostic, conformance, identity, permission, or commitment pattern. When role appears in a technical result, use E.10.ROLE to select the exact local system-role-kind classification, U.SystemRoleAssignment occurrence or state, relation among system-role kinds, declaration, participation, interface, or representation claim before citing its governor.

A source episteme may contain several claims. Keep an ordinary source citation ordinary; use C.2.1:4.2.5 ClaimAddress only when an exact intrinsic claim reference is needed and resolves uniquely. If that needed address does not resolve uniquely, follow C.2.1’s whole-episteme or separately identified claim-episteme alternative.

A carrier, citation, provenance entry, or A.10 classification does not constitute the result episteme or the domain result. When their identity is live, use C.2.1 for the result episteme and the direct subject pattern for the domain result; use A.15.PROD when inception through Work is claimed.
