A.6.5:9 - Consequences
Benefits. Typed relation reuse becomes reviewable without treating an assertion or storage record as the world-side relation. Substitution checks can name the SlotKind and exact participant ValueKind. Reference changes can be distinguished from referent changes. Exact local system-role kinds remain separate from their holder systems and assignment occurrences, and relation predicates remain separate from Work and agency.
Costs. Load-bearing relation patterns need exact participant ValueKinds and designation modes. A proposed ValueKind may require a relation-kind split when the direct predicate has different semantics for different participant kinds. Existing compact byRef sketches may need adjacent expansion before another pattern can rely on them.
Limits. A.6.5 is limited to precise SlotSpec declarations and participant-designation typing. It neither defines the direct obtaining test nor decides a current case. The direct-relation definition supplies the predicate and identity rule, current facts or constituting history supply the case basis, and a claim-bearing episteme states the result. Separate patterns define evidence, reliance, model-use structure selection, and domain-interface semantics.
