C.36.MC:10 - Rationale

Cultural continuity and change require testable predicates, not a bundle of labels. A card can participate in one transmission claim without being recognized, selected, or retained by a whole population. That claim also does not establish that the population enacts a Method described on the card; enactment concerns independently admitted Methods in actual Work. A mandatory field can participate in an organizational selection claim while training Work, later practitioner Work, Method admission, and enactment remain separate.

A practice can remain recognizable while its means change because the required result and relevant dependencies can be preserved across different operations or support. Making that reasoning available lets a recipient do more than imitate a surface sequence. Which differences are permissible remains a domain question. A cultural account then asks who actually obtained, selected or retained the resulting way; the constructive proposal does not answer that question by itself.

Separating subject status, world claim, claim episteme, evidence, interval observations, authorization, and consequence prevents candidate laundering and invented occurrence continuity. A bounded decision can use sufficient existing grounds while preserving unresolved explanations. When a discriminating inquiry is worth its feasible work, it supports deliberate change without fictitious authority or causality. Institutional, organizational, and project cases contribute without being merged into one history.
