C.20:4.1 - Run the complete recognition test

Recover six constructive components for the same exact candidate:

  1. Exact candidate. Identify one exact U.Entity and its proposed field boundary. A public name or description is only a designator or episteme about that candidate.
  2. Exact constituents. Identify every claimed part under its direct kind and identity pattern. The construction must contain at least one exact knowledge-bearing contribution and at least one exact reusable-practice contribution; these are assembly contributions, not fixed part kinds or heterogeneous card positions.
  3. Constructive part relations and assembly. Recover each obtaining disciplinePartOf(part, candidate) occurrence and every other exact whole-forming claim needed by the assembly. A list, co-use, adjacency, or common publisher supplies none of them.
  4. Identity and reidentification rule. State which constituent, relation, boundary, or coupling changes preserve this candidate and which identify another whole or end the current one.
  5. Composition-grounded whole characteristic. State at least one exact A.17-governed Characteristic whose value or state is produced or sustained by the practice-and-knowledge composition and is not attributable to one constituent alone. Use A.18 for Scale legality and C.16 only when an actual value is measured.
  6. Larger-assembly compatibility. State the candidate boundary, exposed practice-and-knowledge interfaces, relevant whole characteristics, and identity-preservation conditions that make it admissible as a possible constituent under at least one governed larger field assembly. This establishes possibility, not an actual larger-discipline part relation.

The candidate is recognized as U.Discipline only when all six components and the C.20-specific practice-and-knowledge condition hold. A materialized classification assertion is a separate C.2.1 episteme about the candidate. Evidence can support that assertion and receiving work can rely on it, but neither creates the discipline.
