A.6.REL:9 - Consequences

Benefits. A.6.REL supplies no universal truth-maker, occurrence-identity discriminator, or representation form; for each direct relation, use the truth and occurrence-identity conditions in its defining pattern, and for the selected representation, use the form in its representation pattern. In a direct species under U.SystemRoleAssignment, A.2.1 uses uninterrupted predicate obtaining and a demonstrated false gap to distinguish repeated episodes for history or Work attribution. In the formal reduced case, 3 < 5 remains assertion content and needs no explicitly individuated relation occurrence. In C.22.PFR, the actual-condition and criterion-applicability relation occurrences are already individuated under their own direct rules before PFR uses them as participants. Each assertion remains a claim-bearing episteme; none is placed in a list of world-side relation kinds.

Costs. A direct relation pattern needs a stated occurrence-identity rule, not only participants, when a receiving assertion, description, direct relation, or declared operation application depends on distinguishing one occurrence from another. A system performing relation-identification work establishes whether participants, temporal extent, constituting work, or another domain discriminator distinguishes repetition. Data schemas that used row identity as ontology may need to expose the domain identity they hid.

Limits. A.6.REL does not decide whether a particular direct relation obtains, define every relation kind, or prescribe a storage model. It does not supply evidence, comparison, publication, forecast, scenario, counterfactual, permission, or temporal semantics governed by neighboring patterns. It also does not turn assertion polarity, a separately governed claim family, or a reliance posture into an obtaining occurrence.
