A.2.5:11 - Rationale

The pattern starts from the world-side relation because state truth can matter before a record exists. A robot can cease to satisfy its inspection predicate before a dashboard refreshes. A credential decision can constitute an institutional condition before a certificate is published. A supported assertion is needed for some reliance uses.

Using uninterrupted predicate truth as the identity boundary distinguishes repeated episodes even when assignment and predicate stay the same. A description may refine an open interval’s end without creating another occurrence; a genuine false gap does create a boundary.

Assignment state is neither capability nor Work. Capability says what operations a system can perform in an envelope. SystemRoleAssignmentStateRelation says whether one current assignment satisfies one predicate over an interval. A Work claim states what was actually performed. A Method, gate, or Work pattern may depend on all three, but none proves the others.
