| proposed Method whole | A claim that several contributions form one reusable Method for a stated use. It may be no more than a candidate account. |
| whole semantics | Intended result or preserved condition, reusable procedure or invariant, applicability, participants, permitted variation, bounds, and reidentification rule. |
| participant status | Whether each named participant is an identified Method, candidate account, other kind, or unresolved subject. |
| obtaining composition result | A result about an identified whole and identified participant Methods whose required B.1.5 relations are independently shown to obtain for the bounded claim. |
| prospective candidate account | An episteme proposing a possible reusable whole while identity or relation conditions remain unresolved. |
| relation set | Named proposed or obtaining composition, order, result-use, allocation, support, authority, or other relations. Their truth statuses remain explicit. |
| realization/test WorkPlan | A plan for later Work that could implement the proposal and return observations. It is not performed Work or evidence that the Method exists. |
