E.10:0.2c.18 - strong, stronger, weak, weaker, support

Use strength wording only when the sentence makes the comparison dimension clear. Examples of more precise wording:

  • stronger claim -> wider claim scope, higher evidence-basis threshold, gate or admission threshold, claim requiring world-contact evidence or authority relation, authority claim, or named evidence-support class;
  • weaker claim -> narrower claim scope, lower evidence-support class, bounded admissible act, work, or claim, source-loss mode under A.6.3.CSC when a source-to-rendering loss is being claimed, coarsened rendering, or explicit abstain or reopen condition;

A named scale, evidence class, threshold, or CharacteristicSpace supplies the comparison when that is the dimension used.

Treat support as a cue to write the concrete subject, predicate, object, and use. If that sentence states a clear direct relation, use the pattern that defines or constrains it. If the predicate or a participant remains unclear, use A.6.P; if both are clear and no current pattern supplies the rule, use A.6.RCD. Use A.6.6 when the claim is specifically basedness.

When the phrase carries a bounded-use claim, state the admissible action. Add a stronger or adjacent non-use only when it satisfies the grounded-guard test in F.19:4. A support-headed durable name reaches F.18 only after the governed object and use are settled; otherwise replace the head locally or leave the meaning blocked.
