C.2.1:4.0 - First-use completeness questions

Begin with the three questions that identify the episteme. They are identity questions, not fields to fill.

Always askExact object recovered
What is being claimed?the exact claim content carried by one U.ClaimGraph
What exact entity do those claims concern?one identified U.Entity participating as the EntityOfConcern
Under which designation and interpretation rules are the claims read, and, where the claims use them, which measurement, comparison, or evaluation rules apply?the effective U.ReferenceScheme

If the task needs only the episteme’s identity, stop after the three answers. Otherwise state the concrete receiving use. Ask for an unresolved uncertainty or choice only when that use is a real inquiry or decision.

Open a row below only when its first column names the reader’s next sentence or action. Each positive answer adds an independently governed object or direct relation; none adds another slot or identity discriminator to the episteme.

Open this row when the next sentence or action is…RecoverSubject pattern
A claim or relation must cite the exact constitution occurrence, not merely say that the episteme exists.one exact obtaining EpistemeConstitutionRelation occurrence, reidentified by the participant triple; designate it when an epistemic receiver needs a reference, or use the occurrence itself as a participant when another direct relation is the receiverC.2.1:4.2.3 and A.6.REL
A reader must cite one exact claim inside one exact episteme edition, rather than the whole episteme.one ClaimAddress: an exact episteme-edition reference plus an intrinsic claim identity declared by that edition’s exact ClaimGraph; if no such identity resolves uniquely, cite the whole episteme or identify the claim as a separate epistemeC.2.1:4.2.5
An observer must inspect designated empirical claims against current observation, intervention, measurement, or test relations involving one exact holon.one exact EpistemeEmpiricalGroundingRelation occurrence, its covered claim subgraph, claim-to-world mappings, and grounding holon; recover supporting evaluation or evidence use separatelyC.2.1:4.3 and the direct observation, intervention, measurement, test, evaluation, or evidence pattern
A description must state the concern from which this episteme is read.one exact U.Viewpoint episteme P and the named describing use that selects P; keep the episteme, its EntityOfConcern, the use, and P distinctE.10.D2 and E.17.0
A team will validate a Description as a specification before relying on it.the exact Description episteme, checkable claims, and named harness or validation relation; preserve or update the named describing-use viewpoint only when that selection affects relianceE.10.D2 and C.2.1:6
A classification assertion must say that this episteme conforms to a viewpoint and is a U.View.one exact obtaining EpistemeViewpointConformanceRelation between this episteme and at least one exact U.Viewpoint epistemeE.17.0
A reader must trace how this episteme was constructed from an earlier source episteme.the exact source and receiving epistemes plus the governed viewing relation; view membership remains a separate conformance judgmentA.6.3 for construction and E.17.0 for membership
A claim must be restricted to one declared part of the situation under study.one exact U.ClaimScope and its membership relation over U.ContextSliceA.2.6
A calculation or interpretation must use one selected organization of model use.one exact BoundedModelUseStructure and the relation through which the receiving assertion or use selects itA.1.1 and the direct receiving-use pattern
A reader proposes to compare, substitute, translate, publish, or otherwise use an obtaining cross-context Bridge.one ordinary C.2.1 assertion episteme whose EntityOfConcern is that exact Bridge and whose ClaimGraph states the proposed use, direction, correspondence rule, loss tolerance, and polarity; recover reliance and any use that actually happened separatelyC.2.1:4.2.3 for claim identity; F.9 for the Bridge; A.10 for ordinary evidence reliance; B.3 only when an actual named assurance claim is current; the direct receiver pattern for any actual use
A decision or inference must cite support links among the claims.the exact JustificationGraph content that carries those dependenciesC.2.1:4.4; use A.10 only when ordinary evidence reliance is current, and B.3 only when an actual named assurance claim is current
A decision or evaluation will accept, reject, or withhold reliance because of evidence.the exact evidence-use relation; evidence storage alone is insufficientA.10 for ordinary evidence reliance; B.3 only for an actual named assurance claim
Reviewers must inspect or revise a classification judgment as an independent claim-bearing object.one classification assertion episteme about the exact candidate, plus the exact governing criterionC.2.1:4.2.3 with A.1 or C.3.2; E.24.UK only for public U-kind admission
A reader must assert that a later episteme revises, refines, or supersedes an earlier one.one exact EpistemeEditionRelation occurrenceC.2.1:4.5
An account must assert that particular Work occurred.identify the actual performer and admit the dated Work independently; if the account also attributes it to an assignment, test that attribution separatelyA.13 and A.15.1; F.6 only for the stated attribution
A publisher must make one selected episteme edition available to a declared audience for a bounded use.the publication occurrence, publication form, and U.PresentationCarrier as distinct objectsE.17 and E.24.PUB
A user will calculate, infer, navigate, or inspect through a representation whose available operations matter.the representation scheme, operations and correspondence needed for that usethe applicable representation pattern; A.6.3.RT for a same-EntityOfConcern transition; C.29 only for an unresolved mathematical-lens choice, transfer or reliance question
One receiving System must select, decline, or co-use candidate results of different kinds as representations for the same exact action or decision.one C.37 use-bounded representation-selection account; keep each direct subject result, optional A.2.4 first-use classification, A.10 reliance path when material, and receiving result separately governedC.37

Stop when no row describes the next sentence or action. A readable sentence naming the claims, EntityOfConcern, and effective reference scheme is then enough. Do not complete the table as a record. Use section 4.10 only when a later sentence or action actually needs the full relation and neighboring-object reference.
