C.20:4.8 - Breadth, tradition, lineage, and school claims

Applied, multidisciplinary, transdisciplinary, tradition, lineage, and school labels do not carry a universal C.20 classification rule.

  • For a project-local kind, use C.3 to state exact intent, membership predicate, scope, and the candidate disciplines that satisfy it.
  • A multidisciplinary claim normally needs several independently identified disciplines and exact contribution or use claims; co-listing fields or counting viewpoints is insufficient.
  • A transdisciplinary claim must declare the integrative criterion that distinguishes it from side-by-side use. If the claim is that one new discipline exists, run the complete C.20 construction test for that new candidate.
  • A tradition, lineage, school, variant, edition, or provenance claim identifies its exact subject and the exact historical-continuation, source-use, method, similarity, edition, derivation, or provenance relation under that relation’s subject pattern. Tradition or lineage can organize variants or editions within or across disciplines as an ordinary auxiliary value or a C.3 project-local kind; none is a discipline part, subkind, or public U-kind by label. A public kind requires its own direct governor, identity and use rule, and E.24.UK admission.
  • An applied classification states what application-facing criterion is satisfied. Method use, one project, one organization, or one selected structure does not establish it by itself.

The classification can remain a C.2.1 claim without admitting another public U-kind. A changed label or classification result does not reidentify the discipline unless the direct C.20 rule independently says the field assembly changed.
