A.6.RCD:4.6 - Prepare derived or primitive relation-kind admission only with occurrence semantics

When a named use consumes occurrence semantics, A.6.RCD yields a relation-kind candidate and the settlement material needed for admission: a derived-kind candidate plus its proposed direct subject settlement, or a primitive-kind candidate plus its candidate standalone subject pattern. Apply the admission predicates defined in E.24 and E.24.UK, and the parsimony predicate in A.11 when that question is current. Neither a proposed settlement nor a candidate pattern locator admits the kind. For a candidate that is admitted, the resulting direct subject settlement states:

  1. the classified relation occurrences and exact participant meanings;
  2. the obtaining predicate and applicability;
  3. for a derived kind, the exact derivation law and base-definition dependencies;
  4. a direct occurrence-identity rule that distinguishes repetition;
  5. recurrence, cessation, and continuation conditions when those distinctions matter;
  6. at least one named receiving use that consumes occurrence semantics;
  7. the standalone subject pattern.

An admitted relation kind never has identity intentionally absent. Ordinary use can omit explicit individuation, occurrence records, and designators because no named use consumes them; the direct identity rule still exists.

A pure converse preserves one base occurrence only when the direct subject ontology explicitly says that inverse wording concerns the same occurrence. Restriction, projection, composition, closure, aggregation, and hidden intermediates require an explicit identity decision. Their syntax does not decide whether the derived occurrence inherits one base identity, is constituted as a composite occurrence, or has a new direct identity rule. If no truthful rule is available, remain at local-claim or predicate-definition level.

Before relation-kind admission, authors MAY ask A.6.0 whether a genuinely reusable predicate-definition episteme satisfies ordinary U.Signature membership. That declaration’s EntityOfConcern is the exact predicate definition, not a candidate relation kind, and the result neither classifies occurrences nor admits a kind.

Authors MAY publish under A.6.0 a RelationSignature whose EntityOfConcern is an exact relation kind only after that kind is admitted. The RelationSignature declares reusable SlotSpecs and restates the direct laws; it does not admit the kind or make an occurrence obtain.
