C.21:4.0a - One replay basis for every persisted coordinate

Every persisted, compared, aggregated, or published coordinate makes the following values recoverable. This is a field group, not another public kind:

DHCReplayBasis := <DisciplineRef, IntendedUse, ClaimScopeRef, ComparisonBasis, CharacteristicRef.edition, ScaleRef.edition, UnitRef.edition?, DHCMethodRef.edition, MethodRef, MethodDescriptionRef.edition?, MeasurementModelRef.edition?, CalibrationBasisRef?, TimeOrPopulationBasis, DHCDefinitionSetRef.edition?, TargetSliceRef?, DistanceDefRef.edition?>

  • DHCMethodRef.edition resolves the same Characteristic, Scale, Method, MethodDescription, model, calibration, and uncertainty semantics named by the active fields. A mismatch is not repaired by choosing one field as “primary.”
  • DHCDefinitionSetRef.edition appears only when a named reusable definition selection exists.
  • TargetSliceRef appears only when the named computation or publication actually consumes an A.2.6 selection. Every selected slice must be shown to belong to, or otherwise be covered by, the authoritative ClaimScope; the slice never substitutes for that scope.
  • DistanceDefRef.edition appears only when the Scale comparison or target-distance rule uses a separately declared distance.
  • Evidence paths, lane tags, currentness, assurance, acceptance, public names, and publication refs are added only when the receiving use consumes those separate results.
