A.2.4:4.1 - Evidence-Use Relation Slots

An evidence-use relation obtains around an episteme and a claim or effect.

SlotKindValueKindIdentity and currentness discipline
EvidenceEpistemeSlotexact U.Episteme classified for evidence useIdentity of the classified episteme.
EvidenceTargetClaimSlotclaim or theory statementIdentity slot whenever the relation is claim-bound; a missing value blocks claim-bound evidence use.
EvidenceClaimGroundingHolonSlotexact U.Holon that participates in an obtaining C.2.1 EpistemeEmpiricalGroundingRelation covering the target claimIdentity or currentness-required when changing the grounding holon changes the evidence relation or the claim being evidenced.
EvidenceClaimScopeSlotclaim-scope value governed by B.3, A.10, C.28, or a direct evidence patternIdentity qualifier when changing scope changes the relation; currentness-required when scope changes admissible use.
EvidencePolaritySlotevidential polarity value such as supports, refutes, constrains, or neutral when that value set is currentIdentity qualifier when changing polarity changes which evidence-use relation is asserted.
EvidenceRelevanceWindowSlottemporal relevance window, theory-version fence, freshness policy, or decay policyIdentity or currentness-required when time, version, or freshness changes the evidence use; consideration slot for formal uses where the theory-version fence already carries the boundary.
EvidenceAssuranceUseSlotthe named bounded reliance or assurance-facing useRecords the intended receiving use only; A.10 is the pattern for the local disposition and B.3 is the pattern for any assurance result.
EvidenceWeightModelSlotweight, confidence, reliability, likelihood, or scoring model referenceConsideration slot; currentness-required when weighted evidence is claimed.
EvidenceProvenanceConstraintSlotrefs to the exact A.10/G.6 source and provenance accountCurrentness-required when provenance or a rival explanation decides admissible use.

These SlotKinds are evidence-use relation positions.
