A.6.P:10 - Rationale

The problem is ontological before it is lexical. A broad expression is dangerous because it can hide different objects, predicates, participant meanings, actual participants, or later claims and operations. Replacing the expression without recovering those objects merely moves the ambiguity.

FPF therefore begins with relation realism: a relation may obtain independently of an assertion about it. Actual participants retain their independently governed kinds while participating under relation-local meanings. An optional RelationSignature makes those meanings reusable as typed declaration content; an assertion or description can designate participants or an already recoverable occurrence; a representation corresponds to the selected object or claim content. None of those adjacent objects substitutes for world-side obtaining or identity.

Construction matters only when the direct ontology makes it identity-bearing. In that case, constructor, inputs, construction work or process, and output identity explain how another occurrence begins. Other relations may obtain without such a constructor. A.6.P therefore uses constructional analysis as a discriminating test rather than as a universal ontology.

Progressive elaboration preserves affordability. An engineer can stop at a readable direct fact. Typed declaration, assertion detail, occurrence identity, stable references, descriptions, publications, and representations appear only when a named later claim or operation depends on them. This order also explains why naming comes late: a good name helps designate a recovered distinction but cannot create it.

The changed-object rule prevents a second ontology collapse. Revising an assertion, declaration, evidence relation, designation, reference, publication, Bridge, or representation is not automatically a change in the direct relation being discussed. Naming the changed object makes continuity, evidence, and return conditions intelligible.

Neutral terminology matters because A.6.P is cross-domain. Every claim about an object uses the rule that defines or constrains that claim; A.6.P does not collect unlike objects under one local umbrella. Domain-specialized vocabulary enters only when a direct local pattern defines or constrains the current object.
