C.2.1:9.5 - Edition succession

Episteme E1 is the exact source used to produce candidate edition E2. The applicable continuity policy says that the EntityOfConcern remains the same, specified core claims must remain traceable, listed claims may be corrected, and a translation into another reference scheme counts as a derivative rather than an edition. The current case identifies the preserved core claims, deliberately corrected claims, unchanged EntityOfConcern, and source-to-revision use. Those facts satisfy the policy, so the positive EpistemeEditionRelation(E1,E2) assertion is available.

If the same Work instead retargets the claims to another EntityOfConcern, translates them under a rule that the policy classifies as a derivative, or reconstructs similar content without using E1 as source, the edition predicate fails even when the Method is named “revision.” Work, Method, provenance, change facts, evaluation, and evidence remain outside the two-participant relation. Later repackaging or publication establishes neither another episteme nor edition continuity.
