C.3.2:8 - Subkind Comparison and Change
Whenever SubkindOfObtains(k1,k2) holds under C.3.1, its practical consequence is checked only where both candidate requests are admissible under the aligned declarations:
For the same candidate and slice, an admissible
truejudgment fork1must not coexist with an admissiblefalsejudgment fork2within the relation’s declared applicability.
C.3.1 decides whether exact criterion entailment or exhaustive evaluation over a deliberately closed finite domain makes the relation obtain. Non-exhaustive classifications support its assertion or expose a counterexample; they do not establish an open-domain relation. A not-applicable request is outside the comparison. Cross-local use first compares kind identities: reuse the same kind directly when its membership distinction continues; only distinct kinds with an obtaining correspondence use C.3.3. A bridge never transfers source classification truth.
Keep these changes distinct:
| Change | Direct consequence | What does not follow automatically |
|---|---|---|
| practice, source, team, or locality changes | compare the exact kind definitions and declaration meanings | another kind or KindBridge |
| two distinct kinds and a directional correspondence are current | test C.3.3 obtaining and evaluate the receiving candidate afresh | transferred source truth |
criterion, candidate domain, applicability, EntityOfConcern, or scheme changes | another declaration episteme; KindSignature qualification and any edition relation are checked separately as in section 5; C.3.1 decides kind continuity | another kind merely by edition |
| candidate fails ValueKind or slice applicability | not-applicable; no judgment | unknown or false |
| candidate state changes | reevaluate in the relevant slice when admissible | a new signature or kind |
| support or dependency becomes unavailable | unknown for an admissible request | not-applicable or known false |
| publication form changes | another form or carrier may express the same episteme | another signature, kind, or classification |
