C.2:5 - ✱ Archetypal Grounding (Tell–Show–Show)

Universal rule (tell). Compose knowledge by Γ_epist with explicit support roles, dependence, scope, and justified input scales. Use the receiving model for any R calculation, or return a bounded non-aggregate synthesis. Identify the episteme by exact claim content, EntityOfConcern, and effective reference scheme; keep empirical grounding, edition, viewpoint selection, view conformance, representation, publication form, publication occurrence, and carrier in their own direct relations.

System (show, current physical-system lens). Consider a battery-pack thermal subsystem integrating a physics model of heat flow and an operating envelope for fast-charge. As a system, it composes pumps, sensors, and controllers through the system, composition, boundary, state, and dynamics guidance in A.1, A.14, A.22, and A.3.4, with conservation constraints made explicit; B.1.6 and C.16 govern resource and measurement claims as applicable. Planned C.1 (Sys-CAL) may later consolidate that guidance, but it supplies no current governing semantics. The assurance story depends on epistemes about the model and envelope; the system acts, epistemes constrain. (Archetypes and boundary discipline per core.)

Episteme (show, KD-CAL lens). Consider a CMIP-class climate projection episteme (post-2015 generation): its exact claim content covers PDEs and parameterisations; its EntityOfConcern identifies what the projection claims concern; and its effective reference scheme supplies the interpretation rules. A separate U.ClaimScope names historical forcings, resolution, and assumptions. Any empirical-grounding occurrence names the grounding holon and covered claim subgraph separately. Its representation may include domain equations and a tabular schema linked by an explicit notation or representation relation with stated loss. When composing radiation, cloud, and ocean-mixing contributions, identify which assumptions the particular projection requires and what each hindcast actually tests. Shared models or data do not establish independent confirmation. An aggregate R needs the domain quantity and dependency model; otherwise retain the separate tests, assumptions, scope limits, and any disagreements. F remains an ordinal account of the essential formal constituents.
