A.12:4.1 - Acting-Side Externalization

When a precise change-bearing account is needed, use the following frame to distinguish the participants and the claims you are making. It is not a required form for an ordinary acting-side explanation. Fill a neighboring-claim position only when that claim is needed and its own admission conditions hold:

ActingSideExternalization@Context:
  changedSubjectRef: one exact continuing referent identified by the identity rule that defines that referent
  actingEntityRef: exact U.Entity proposed for the acting side
  actingSystemRef?: U.System, fill only after actingEntityRef satisfies the complete A.1 U.System criterion
  a1RecognitionDispositionOrBlockerRef?: required while actingSystemRef is unfilled
  actingSystemRoleAssignmentRef?: U.RelationRef constrained to U.SystemRoleAssignment, only when one exact obtaining work-facing assignment is current
  actingSideParticipationRef?: one exact obtaining relation occurrence satisfying the predicate and participant meanings that define the participation, causal, or interaction claim
  transformationRef?: U.Transformation, fill only when A.3.4 identifies a bounded change of changedSubjectRef
  methodRef?
  methodDescriptionRef?
  workPlanRef?
  workOccurrenceRef?
  holonBoundaryCrossingRelationRef?: one exact obtaining relation occurrence satisfying the predicate, applicability, and identity rules that define the crossing relation
  evidenceRelationRefs?
  strongerOwnerRefs:

Identify actingEntityRef and changedSubjectRef as distinct participants in the claim. changedSubjectRef is a question-local position, not a U-kind or union ValueKind: its value retains its independently admitted kind and identity rule. A presentation carrier does not become a U.Holon by filling it. Fill transformationRef only when A.3.4 establishes a bounded change of that same continuing referent.

Before calling the acting entity a U.System, apply the complete A.1 criterion. Until recognition is established, retain the entity and its recognized | rejected | unknown disposition or blocker, and leave actingSystemRef unfilled. Once recognized, that position names the same entity under U.System, not another actor. Tight coupling or membership in a larger holon does not merge the acting and changed positions.

ActingSideExternalization@Context describes the relation frame; it does not define a U-kind or establish that a change occurred. Each neighboring claim has its own participants and defining or testing rule. Neither A.12 frame has a generic context, scope or qualifier position. Ask what the proposed qualifier changes:

  • If claim content, EntityOfConcern or the effective reference scheme changes, C.2.1 identifies another episteme.
  • If the question is whether a U.ContextSlice belongs to a claim’s set-valued applicability boundary, use A.2.6’s U.ClaimScope and membership evaluation.
  • Select A.1.1’s BoundedModelUseStructure only when the decision depends jointly on one model edition’s applicability, actual use in assigned Work, fixed-content expression coherence, applied constraints and complete selection-use frame.

For another condition, state the condition or relation and apply its defining or testing rule. A pattern citation is usually enough to locate that rule. Recover its identity-bearing defining or constraining ClaimGraph only when the graph’s identity changes interpretation, comparison, migration, conflict, publication or reuse. A claim phrase or nearby participant does not fill an A.12 field unless it satisfies that field’s meaning.

Use:

  • A.3.4 when transformationRef becomes current;
  • A.15 and A.15.1 when method, work plan, work occurrence or work success is claimed; for an actual Work occurrence, follow the performer/admission/attribution order below;
  • A.2.1 when an exact assignment occurrence becomes current, and A.2.7 only when a relation among exact local system-role kinds becomes current;
  • A.10 when evidence or source independence becomes current;
  • A.1, A.14, and C.13 when holon identity, part-whole, or constructive grounding becomes current.

For a dated Work claim, first establish each actual performer’s A.13 core: an admitted System, a local agential system-role kind and criterion it satisfies, an obtaining assignment, and the scope, situation and window the use needs, supported by evidence. Add an agency-characteristic profile only for a consumed Grade/autonomy/profile claim, a characteristic-dependent local criterion, or an assurance use that requires it. Then admit the occurrence independently under A.15.1 from its performance history, enacted Method, temporal extent and obtaining containing-System relation. Only if precise assignment-bound attribution is also claimed does F.6 relate that admitted Work to the same obtaining assignment. A Work-only account stops after admission.
