A.6.5:5.3 - Episteme fields are not relation participants by table shape

C.2.1 identifies an evaluation episteme by its exact EntityOfConcern, ClaimGraph, and effective ReferenceScheme. An EntityOfConcernRef designates that entity when such a reference is used. A card or tuple view may contain visible fields such as entityOfConcernRef, claimGraph, and referenceScheme. Their co-occurrence in one record does not by itself establish another world-side relation, make the fields participants, or declare SlotSpecs for them.

When a direct relation among an episteme and other entities is current, its definition states the relation kind, participant meanings, obtaining condition, and occurrence identity, and its compatible RelationSignature contains the needed SlotSpecs. A.6.5 supplies the rules for typing participant designations in a receiving assertion. This prevents a convenient episteme form from becoming a pseudo-relation merely because it can be drawn as a tuple or table.
