A.6.1:4.5 - Bind one actual operation application exactly

Use the readable direct forms first:

During exact application P of declared operation O, value V is bound under argument declaration a.
Exact application P returns value R under result declaration r.

A particular application is an occurrence of the ApplicationPredicate declared for exact operation O. The exact operation declaration supplies the application identity and extent rules; the phrase operation application does not admit a public OperationApplication U-kind, one universal application relation kind, or a work record. Its identity rule must name the semantically relevant application locus and boundary: for example, one physical cycle, one calculation invocation from call to return, or one comparison act from selected operands to returned judgment. If none of those examples fits, name the domain event that starts and ends the application. A trace identifier can designate that occurrence but cannot identify it by storage convention alone. If the declaration supplies no truthful application predicate, extent rule, or identity rule at the granularity required by the receiving claim, the actual application is blocked rather than reconstructed from a method name, plan row, log, or nearby result.

An operation-application binding is an occurrence of one declaration-local binding predicate under that exact application. Its direct participants are the exact application occurrence and the exact bound entity or value. The exact mechanism episteme and the named argument or result declaration govern the predicate; they are not substituted for the actual value. An argument binding obtains only when the value actually participates in P under the declared argument meaning, resolves under the binding designation rule, satisfies the declared ValueKind and cardinality, and lies within P’s governed extent. A result binding obtains only when P actually returns that value under the declared result meaning; type compatibility, a planned filling, a method-description field, a stored reference, or a matching token establishes neither binding.

One binding occurrence is identified by <exactApplicationOccurrence, exactMechanismEpisteme, operationDesignator, argumentOrResultDesignator, exactBoundValue, maximalContinuousBindingExtent>. The extent lies within the exact application extent; a result-binding extent cannot begin before that result is returned. Repeated applications remain distinct through their independently governed application identities, and the same value bound under two declaration-local meanings yields two distinct bindings. A declaration may state a different cardinality or binding-continuity rule only when that semantics is part of the exact operation declaration.

The controlled phrase operation-application binding names only this family of declaration-local binding occurrences. Public work-participant, input, output, result, evidence, and production relations remain with their direct patterns. A result binding records the value the application returned. Production or entity-identity inception, a result episteme, and later reliance each require their own governing claims.

A dated performance is a separate Work individual. When a Work claim also relies on one already identified application and its bindings, recover each exact actual performer through A.13 and let A.15.1 independently admit W : U.Work from its performance history, temporal extent, at least one obtaining enactsMethod -> U.Method relation, and at least one obtaining locally declared Work-to-System containment relation with its exact boundary. Add the same obtaining A.13 assignment and F.6 performedUnderAssignment(W, RA) only when this application account or its receiving use expressly consumes precise assignment-bound attribution; then check holder equality and assignment coverage. F.6 identifies neither assignment nor performer, and missing or failed F.6 leaves the Work intact. Add any additional enactment, work-to-referent, performed resource use, continuity policy, or Work-mereology relation only when the claim asserts it and its own predicate obtains. A.6.1 does not identify the Work occurrence. If no direct subject-relation rule or declaration-local binding rule is defined for the claimed participation at the required granularity, retain the exact missing-governor blocker. When a governing rule is present, state any known predicate failure or the missing case facts that leave the participation claim unresolved.
