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, and set traces 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.
