A.14:14.1 - Aspect branch application

For AspectOf, the BORO and CCO rows above supply the constructor-sensitive question: which bearer, facet rule, dependent aspect, and identity conditions make this structural part? Fine’s composition-first pressure blocks a bare aspect label from deciding parthood. A.14 adapts that line in A.14:5.3, the decision procedure, and CC-ASP-1 through CC-ASP-4; C.13 slice remains an optional report, not the constructor of the aspect. The serious alternatives are routed rather than renamed: measured Characteristic (C.16/A.19), viewpoint or view (E.17), representation or projection (C.29 or its direct pattern), selected partition, and temporal restriction (PhaseOf/C.27.TA). The author must identify the actual relation before reusing the word aspect.

The resulting collection alternatives are deliberately distinct:

• Selected: an ordinary subject-specific belongs-to sentence plus the collection’s own rule.
• Rejected: one generic MemberOf, because it collapses formal inclusion, classification, participation, collection belonging, and constructive parthood.
• Rejected for present public use: one qualified generic collection-belonging predicate, because its qualifiers must recreate every subject rule.
• Retained as a separate possible claim: constructive parthood, but only when its direct relation obtains and all six A.1 matters pass.

A.14 supplies no immediate cross-domain query key for all belongs-to relations; use F.18 to name a narrower relation when repeated query, comparison, or declaration use justifies that extra vocabulary.

The rest of the catalogue retains its own governing source lines:

• Metrical mereology advances motivate PortionOf with explicit μ and Σ-laws, preventing the classic “stuff as components” fallacy.
• Temporal parts and identity through change motivate PhaseOf as transitive proper temporal parthood, with nesting and overlap allowed, partition-specific coverage and non-overlap, and escalation when identity criteria fail.
• Engineering product models, including the ISO 15926 family, pressure authors to keep functional classification, physical product breakdown, and stocks or consumables distinct; A.14 routes those claims to their direct relations instead of one part tree.
• Knowledge-episteme edition histories in contemporary MBSE and open-science practice motivate explicit endpoint identities and provenance-preserving composition. FPF uses the C.2.1 identity triple and independently obtaining EpistemeEditionRelation for distinct editions; A.14 retains PhaseOf only for a proper temporal restriction of one unchanged episteme.

The catalogue keeps direct component, constituent, portion, bearer-dependent aspect, phase, and collection-belonging claims distinct, while a separately grounded constructive part claim remains possible without another universal relation vocabulary.
