C.13:10 - Relations

Builds on

  • A.14 and the patterns for each relation. They define and test the participants, conditions, recurrence, and occurrence identity for component, collection-specific belongs-to, aspect, portion, constituent, and other constructive relations.
  • C.2.1. It governs the identity of a materialized construction-trace episteme.

Coordinates with

  • B.3.5. Governs the required trace link and validation mode only for a structural Working-Model edge covered by an elected profile or named current requirement. Its publication and assurance apparatus does not create the construction or decide whole identity.
  • A.1 and B.2. A.1 consumes constructive assembly as one component of holon recognition; B.2 consumes exact construction and direct reidentification facts when the question is whether the existing whole continues or a new whole must be identified. C.13 decides neither public-kind recognition nor whole reidentification.
  • B.1.5 and direct method-composition patterns. Supply exact submethods, whole-forming relations, constraints, and whole-method reidentification before a method construction is narrated.
  • A.15 and direct work-mereology patterns. Supply exact work parts and whole-forming relations before a dated work construction is narrated.
  • C.20 and direct discipline-composition relations. Supply exact discipline constituents, whole-forming relations, and identity conditions before a discipline construction is narrated.
  • A.22 and A.1.1. Keep selected relation organization and bounded model use distinct from construction of the underlying holon.
  • A.3.4. Identifies each actual bounded change independently; C.13 supplies no transformation-composition law.
  • C.29. Keeps formulas, graphs, diagrams, and traces as representations of independently recovered objects when representation is current.
  • A.7.1 and A.22.CGUS. Handle diagnostic return and the wider structural projection from construction to a target kind or logical representation when those uses are current.

Constrains

  • A pattern that relies on a constructive whole states that whole, its constituents, the part relations that obtain, the assembly rule, and the identity rule rather than relying on a list or diagram.
  • Collection, aspect, method, work, discipline, selected-structure, and transformation cases keep their direct owners and stop at missing governors.
  • New construction forms require a separate parsimony and use argument; ordinary time, order, evidence, representation, and domain labels do not justify one.

Provides

  • the three construction narratives Γ_m.sum, Γ_m.set, and Γ_m.slice;
  • a plain-language discipline for connecting those narratives to exact direct facts without making the trace their cause;
  • explicit unassembled-collection, selected-structure, existing-whole continuity or new-whole identification, and transformation-composition stop conditions.
