B.1.4:8.1 - Rationale

B.1.4 exists because contextual order and temporal phase aggregation are neither ordinary part-whole construction nor generic process talk. One enduring carrier with a stated identity rule can be considered through proper temporal restrictions; a selected relation set can be order-sensitive; and both cases need admissible aggregation without inventing a new holon kind. The pattern therefore keeps relation discipline explicit: PhaseOf and the carrier’s identity rule for legitimate phase aggregation; C.2.1 identity and independently obtaining edition relations for distinct episteme history; A.15.1 relations for Work; ordered relation refs and OrderSpec for contextual aggregation; and separate patterns for resource, transformation, evidence, and whole reidentification.

The old DesignRunTag warning is preserved as a rule rather than a label: do not fold design-time possible order and run-time history into one aggregate. If both are needed, make two records and relate them by value.
