A.6.REL:4.7 - Keep world-side change separate from episteme editions
Whenever current wording or work says that a relation occurrence, claim, reusable declaration, name, reference, description, or publication “changed,” first name which exact object changed and apply that object’s own continuity, identity, revision, or edition rule. This selection does not require an A.10 evidence relation:
| Changed object | Exact move |
|---|---|
| direct relation occurrence | apply the direct identity rule to the current case facts or constituting history and determine continuation, cessation, split, or another occurrence; for a temporally extended occurrence, use only the temporal boundary declared by that rule |
| relational assertion | revise, retract, replace, or supersede the assertion episteme under C.2.1 |
RelationSignature | revise the reusable declaration and establish its edition relation under A.6.0 |
| identifier assignment | assign, retire, or replace the designator under F.18 |
| reference use in an episteme | reinterpret or retarget the designation under F.18 and the receiving SlotSpec |
| description episteme | revise the episteme or establish another edition under C.2.1 |
| publication occurrence | end the current publication occurrence or establish another under E.17 and E.24.PUB |
A relation occurrence has identity under its direct rule; a temporally extended occurrence also has temporal history under that rule. Revising an episteme about an occurrence does not by itself establish a change in that occurrence. Check whether the changed episteme or performed Work is constitutive under the direct rule. Current case facts or constituting history must separately satisfy the direct continuation, cessation, or same-versus-new-occurrence rule. Another edition of an assertion, signature, or description episteme, or another publication occurrence, therefore does not by itself entail a new relation occurrence.
Use A.10 only for a separate evidence-based reliance question. Determine world-side continuation, cessation, or a new occurrence from current-case facts or constituting history under the direct identity rule.
