A.6.2:5.4 - Worked endpoint-value and relation-read profile (engineering SystemDescription episteme kind)
(informative)
To make the C.2.1 value and EFEM law discipline concrete, consider an engineering episteme of a dependent system-description kind whose exact EntityOfConcern is one U.System:
| Value named by the EFEM species | Kind or reference form | Use |
|---|---|---|
| exact EntityOfConcern | U.Entity constrained to U.System; designated by U.EntityRef | identifies the system that the claims concern |
| claim content | U.ClaimGraph | carries the description or specification claims |
| effective ReferenceScheme | U.ReferenceScheme | makes the claims and their designations interpretable |
This table names the three values that identify an episteme; it is not a RelationSignature or SlotSpec table. EntityOfConcernSlot, ClaimGraphSlot, and ReferenceSchemeSlot are declaration-local SlotKinds only when the reusable C.2.1 EpistemeConstitutionRelationSignature is being inspected. An EFEM species states how the endpoint values compare. If its rule uses a selected viewpoint, empirical-grounding relation, or representation relation, it names the exact occurrence or use qualification separately and reads or compares the endpoint facts without changing the occurrence.
Two typical EFEM species over this kind are:
-
Specify_DescEp_SpecDesc_Sys : SystemDescription → SystemSpec— anEntityOfConcernChangeMode = preservespecies that:- relates independently identified source and receiving epistemes with the same exact EntityOfConcern, makes their effective ReferenceSchemes explicit, and cites any separately obtaining empirical-grounding relation or viewpoint selection only when the formal relation depends on it;
- satisfies P2 only when every claim in the receiving specification is recoverable from exact source ClaimGraphs or independently current facts under named relations and schemes; the unchanged EntityOfConcern is an endpoint identity condition, not a proposition or additional premise;
- satisfies C.2.1:7.1 by declaring its endpoint-value comparison, named relation-read profile, and change mode.
-
Normalize_EngView— a family of view-normalisation EFEM arrowsn_X : X -> Ybetween exactU.Viewepistemes (again withEntityOfConcernChangeMode = preserve) that:- states how the formal relation uses the three C.2.1 identity values and makes the exact source-to-receiving ClaimGraph difference explicit; any difference between separately obtaining endpoint facts that it compares is named by the exact predicate and participants, and any normalization application remains separate;
- is effect-free. A repeat claim identifies the next arrow
n_Y : Y -> Zunder the same rules, establishesZ = Yunder C.2.1, and witnessescompose(n_Y, n_X) ≃ n_Xunder the declared arrow equivalence, as in §5.2; - is conservative (P2) by construction: it never introduces new atoms about the selected system.
Concrete A.6.3/A.6.4/E.17.* patterns for engineering description and specification-use idioms state explicitly, under C.2.1:7.1 and CC-EFEM.*, which of the three C.2.1 endpoint values remain the same or differ and which exact separately obtaining relation occurrences their arrow rules read or compare.
