A.1:4.5 - U.Episteme

U.Episteme is a claim-bearing, non-agentive holon kind. Acting systems can use, cite, publish, represent, structure, compare, interpret, or rely on it through separately governed relations. Work may yield another edition, but changed claim content identifies another episteme under C.2.1 rather than an in-place transformation of the same one.

Use C.2.1 for episteme identity, EpistemeConstitutionRelation, and the direct empirical-grounding and edition relations declared there. Use the neighboring direct patterns for viewpoint, view, claim scope, bounded model use, evidence, publication, source use, carrier, and representation. A.1 only says that an episteme can be treated as a holon when part-whole treatment of the claim-bearing object is current.

A system may decide, approve, perform work, promise, revise, authorize, or bear responsibility through separately governed relations and Work. Classification by a local system-role kind or an assignment to it supplies none of those acts, permissions, commitments, or responsibilities by itself.
