A.14:12 - Consequences
Benefits
- Predictable composition. Additive portions, facet-local aspects, same-carrier phases, and explicit collection rules keep unlike claims separate.
- Analysis does not create ontology. Characteristics, viewpoints, views, projections, partitions, and time windows remain usable without being turned into structural parts.
- History without confusion. Aspect and phase identity changes are explicit; collection history stays with the collection’s rule.
- Readable first use. A practitioner can state the direct component, constituent, portion, aspect, phase, or belongs-to sentence before any elected assurance account.
Trade-offs and mitigations
- More distinctions. Authors must name a measure for PortionOf, a facet and identity rule for AspectOf, or a proper interval and carrier identity for PhaseOf. The decision table and practitioner checklist organize that first relation choice.
- Aspect judgement. Distinguishing a structural aspect from a Characteristic, view, projection, or temporal claim requires judgement; neighboring patterns provide the stop and route.
- Optional assurance effort.
sum,slice, andsettraces are added only when B.3.5 or another named current requirement elects them. - Escalation discipline. When bearer or carrier identity fails, use the direct reidentification pattern rather than preserving an AspectOf or PhaseOf occurrence by label.
