C.2.P.DR:4.3 - Legitimate path and route settlement

path is not banned.

A.10 evidence path for <claim, effect, or use> is legitimate when the evidence relation or provenance relation for the named claim, effect, or reliance use is current. E.18 graph path and PathSlice are legitimate when the graph object, path, slice, crossing, or flow valuation is current. Carrier file paths, URLs, mathematical paths, and quoted source paths are legitimate when their notation, source-use function, or use relation is current.

The defect is not the word. The defect is hidden ontology: the sentence treats a representation as if something literally ran, flowed, executed, authorized, released, proved, selected, or prescribed action without first naming the exact direct object or relation and its subject pattern.

When the representation is route-shaped, loop-shaped, graph-shaped, diffusion-like, or workflow-like, ask first which object is current:

Current objectSubject pattern
constraint-governed U.Structure across several constrained lociA.22.CGUS
transformation-flow structure, path, path slice, crossing, guard, or valuationE.18 and E.18.3 when unfolding use is current
description, diagram, table, graph, route card, slide, README line, or narrative that renders the structureA.22.CGUS:4.4 for descriptions of a qualified CGUS and post-qualification demonstrative slices, including the wording ConstraintGovernedUnfoldingStructureDescription@Context or DemonstrativeUnfoldingSlice@Context; A.6.3.NAR for narrative rendering; E.17 for publication; or the direct description subject pattern
reusable semantic way of doing, or a claim-bearing episteme that passes the A.3.2 MethodDescription membership testA.3.1 for the method; A.3.2 for the qualifying episteme
work plan, work readiness, or performed workA.15 family
evidence, assurance, gate, decision, architecture, publication, or currentness-refresh claimthe subject pattern for that claim

Do not repair route-shaped wording by replacing it with another route-shaped word. Always recover the visible expression, exact direct object or relation, representation or correspondence use or none, retained use, blocked stronger action claim, subject pattern, and stop or reopen condition. When the representation use is none, do not require a represented target, preserved and lost structure, or a mathematical-lens admissible-use account. When an exact representation, mathematical-lens, or selected-structure use is current, also name its target, the preserved and lost structure, and the admitted and blocked uses required by C.29 or that structure’s subject pattern.
