A.6.1:4.1 - Admit and identify U.Mechanism

U.Mechanism is a dependent durable U-kind governed through U.Signature and therefore through U.Episteme. Its identity is:

<content, EntityOfConcernRef, effectiveReferenceScheme>

The dependence reuses the U.Signature identity settlement and subject pattern. It is not parthood and does not make U.Mechanism a root beside U.Episteme.

Use this early object-and-relation guide:

Current objectExact reading
U.MechanismThe reusable declaration episteme governed here.
declared operation familyThe exact subject identified by EntityOfConcernRef; its direct kind is preserved.
realizing entityThe entity claimed to realize the declaration; it keeps its own direct kind.
mechanism-realization relationThe direct relation between the mechanism episteme and a realizing entity under stated scope and time.
mechanism descriptionA C.2.1 episteme about the U.Mechanism episteme when such meta-description is actually needed.
mechanism publicationAn E.24.PUB use that presents the episteme without changing its identity.

A machine part does not become U.Mechanism by being called a mechanism. For example, a pump assembly remains a U.System; this pattern defines or constrains a reusable operation declaration to which a realizing entity may be related while retaining its direct kind.
