C.16.Q:4.8 - Change lexicon

A conforming quality-term repair publication SHALL narrate changes with a stable change lexicon aligned to A.6.P:

• declareQualityTermAscription(...) — create a new explicit quality-ascription record.
• withdrawQualityTermAscription(...) — retire a prior record.
• retargetBearer(...) — retarget the evaluated bearer ref or tuple while keeping the repair-form schema.
• reviseSense(...) — change the value in the qualitySense slot.
• reArticulate(...) — change articulationMode while preserving the sense family.
• reProxy(...) — change proxy, probe, or operationalization details.
• reBundle(...) — change bundle members or aggregation policy.
• reScale(...) — change characteristic scale or scale type.
• reProbeOrModelFrame(...) — change the exact domain-local probe or model frame.
• reComparisonFrame(...) — change the independently governed A.19.CPM comparison configuration.
• retargetEvaluator(...) — change the evaluator or policy ref without changing the viewpoint by implication.
• retargetViewpointRef(...) — retarget the governed U.ViewpointRef; resolution yields another exact viewpoint episteme only when the new reference resolves.
• reReferenceScheme(...) — change the effective ReferenceScheme explicitly; because that changes interpretation, re-check C.2.1 identity for any published claim episteme.
• rescopeClaim(...) — change U.ClaimScope or its exact U.ContextSlice members.
• retime(...) — change Γ_time.
• refreshWitnessRefs(...) — refresh witness bindings without silently changing an evidence-provenance path or grounding relation.
• replaceEvidenceProvenancePath(...) — replace the cited A.10 path of exact direct relations without manufacturing a quality result.
• replaceEmpiricalGroundingRelationRef(...) — cite another independently obtaining C.2.1 grounding occurrence; a record edit cannot make it obtain.
• retargetBridgeOccurrenceRef(...) — retarget an exact F.9 occurrence ref; it does not retarget a bounded-use claim, optional Bridge Card, or optional stance note by implication.
• exitQualityAscription(...) — end use of the quality-ascription form and continue with the pattern for the recovered non-quality claim; never silently retype the old record.

A silent sense rewrite is a breaking semantic change. If the ascription ceases to mean “quality ascription” at all, close it with exitQualityAscription(...) and publish the recovered claim in the form needed for its use rather than pretending the same record survived unchanged.

A.6.P rewrite note. retargetBearer(...) is the family-specific form of retargetParticipant(BearerSlot, …). It, retargetEvaluator(...), retargetViewpointRef(...), and retargetBridgeOccurrenceRef(...) are reference-retargeting moves and SHALL preserve the A.6.5 distinction between a reference and the object it resolves. reviseSense(...), reArticulate(...), reProxy(...), reBundle(...), reScale(...), reProbeOrModelFrame(...), and reComparisonFrame(...) refine reviseByValue(...). reReferenceScheme(...) and rescopeClaim(...) change interpretation-bearing values and require an identity check for any published C.2.1 episteme. Witness, evidence-path, result-claim, grounding-relation, Bridge, bounded-use-claim, Card, and stance-note refs change independently; no edit silently rewrites another.
