C.22.PFR:2 - Problem

An actual Problem is neither a record nor a free-standing quality label. It depends on an actual condition and on a criterion that applies to one exact entity, scope, and interval. The relation obtains when the condition is on the adverse side of that applicable predicate.

FPF needs one identity for this dependent evaluative relation without copying values defined by ProblemCriterionApplicabilityRelation into additional writable PFR slots. It also needs to distinguish continuous adverse episodes from repeated episodes while refusing to infer a recovery from missing observations or evidence.
