A.1:4.1 - U.Entity

U.Entity is anything that can be individuated and referenced. It carries no part-whole, acting, claim-bearing, model-use, or architecture assumption by itself.

When observations may concern the same continuing entity and the next use depends on that identification, use A.1.RI. It constructs and compares connections under the entity’s continuation criterion and the applicable subject and observation rules. An adequate available identification can be used directly.

Use U.Entity when the current move only needs to point to something—for example, a number, claim, named product, material batch, data value, legal clause, local system-role kind, reference, document, or another object under concern.

Do not apply holon aggregation, part-whole grounding, acting-system roles, or architecture claims to a bare U.Entity unless its actual construction satisfies the A.1 criterion for U.Holon or a kind-specific criterion for another already admitted public holon kind.
