E.10.D2:5 - Naming discipline

Default suffix. Use ...Description when naming a description episteme for a practitioner-facing use.

Reserved suffix. Use ...Spec only when the specification-use conditions above obtain. Do not use it as a synonym for detailed, official, approved, formal-looking, or stored in a schema.

Entity names. Name the EntityOfConcern by its independently governed kind and identity: one exact local system-role kind, Method, System, ArchitectureRelation, Characteristic, PromiseContent, Work, Episteme, or another exact kind. Append Description, Spec, View, Publication, Form, Carrier, or Representation only when that neighboring object is what the name actually designates.

Relation language. Prefer the direct governing verb: a description carries claims about an entity; a publication occurrence makes an edition available; a carrier bears a form; a representation corresponds under a scheme; evidence supports an assertion; an admitted system performs work. Do not turn those verbs into one generic description link.

Ambiguous role language. When source wording says that a description, source, standard, requirement, evidence item, publication, dashboard, or view “has a role,” recover its exact evidence-use, source-use, standard-use, requirement-use, publication-use, assurance-use, or gate-use relation. For a claimed Work use, name the exact premise, governed reference, decision-use relation, or A.6.1 operation-argument binding and its actual participants. If the claimed use needs another relation and no direct governor supplies its predicate and participants, return the exact missing-governor result rather than inferring a universal description-to-Work or episteme-to-Work relation. Open one exact occurrence of a directly declared U.SystemRoleAssignment species only when an independently admitted U.System is assigned to one exact local system-role kind for the bounded work; an acting holon is eligible only after that exact entity has independently passed U.System admission for this claim.
