C.13:5.3 - Episteme, Method, Work, And Discipline Holons

A theory episteme may use C.13 only after C.2.1 identifies the episteme and an exact direct episteme-part or claim-composition pattern identifies the constituent entities, the part relations that obtain, and the assembly and reidentification rule. C.2.1 claim-graph content helps constitute the episteme but does not thereby supply a C.13 part predicate. A definition, derivation, diagram, representation, publication, or evidence relation likewise does not become a part merely because it states, shows, publishes, or supports the theory; include it in a sum trace only when an exact direct part predicate independently obtains. The trace then reports the claim-bearing assembly rather than creating it.

A composite method may use C.13 after B.1.5 or another direct method-composition pattern identifies exact submethods, whole-forming relations, constraints, and the whole-method reidentification rule. A dated work occurrence may use C.13 only after the direct work-mereology owner identifies exact work parts and whole-forming relations. Step labels, a recipe, work-plan items, a WBS, co-occurrence, or common performer do not supply those facts.

A discipline may use C.13 only after C.20 and its direct relation owners identify whatever constituent entities the case actually requires, the whole-forming relations that obtain among them, and the discipline identity or reidentification rule. Do not infer parts from C.20 card positions or from objects merely associated with the discipline. A canon item, practice, organization, carrier, bridge, comparison relation, field name, bibliography, curriculum, or publication collection enters a sum trace only when an exact direct part predicate independently obtains.
