C.2.1:4.8 - Locate the change before updating episteme identity

Observed changeDisposition
claim content, EntityOfConcern, or effective reference scheme changesidentify another episteme; use EpistemeEditionRelation only for revision, refinement, or supersession when its historical-continuation predicate obtains, and use A.6.4 separately only for an exact retargeting that satisfies its own predicate; otherwise stop at the new identity without inferring continuity
the explicit empirical-claim coverage predicate begins to obtain, ceases to obtain, or is restoredevaluate EpistemeEmpiricalGroundingRelation continuity for the exact covered claim subgraph and grounding holon; do not change episteme identity unless a core discriminator also changed
an evidence item, evaluation report, evidence store, or work log becomes available or unavailable without an established change in the complete claim-coverage predicaterevise only the separately governed support, warrant, confidence, evidence-use relation, or receiving-use reliance posture that changed; the mapped direct relations still determine world-side grounding and occurrence continuity: known complete coverage continues, known coverage failure remains nonobtaining, and uncertainty about coverage gives an affirmative grounding assertion unresolved reliance rather than a third world-side state
candidate episteme E or viewpoint episteme P changesidentify the changed episteme under C.2.1, then test the new exact E/P pair under E.17.0; for fixed E and P, conformance cannot change because of evaluator, evidence, project, publication, or current use, so state any changing adequacy or evaluation as a separate claim
one named describing use selects one already identified U.Viewpoint episteme Pupdate only that use’s exact viewpoint selection; the selection creates no context object, selects no view, and establishes neither conformance, U.View membership, nor episteme identity
claim scope changesupdate the exact U.ClaimScope and its A.2.6 membership semantics; do not infer another episteme automatically
selected bounded model-use or multi-view structure changesupdate the exact collection or structure relation and re-evaluate affected interpretation claims; do not infer another episteme or view family automatically
publication form, carrier, rendering, audience, bounded use, or publication occurrence changesestablish the exact E.24.PUB change only; publication is not view membership or episteme succession
mathematical or tool representation changesuse A.6.3.RT for a same-EntityOfConcern representation transition, or the applicable direct transition pattern for another transition; use C.29 only for an unresolved mathematical-lens choice, transfer or reliance question
