E.14:13 - Relations

Builds on:

  • E.8 Authoring Conventions & Style Guide — section order, style principles, and mandatory safety subsections used here.
  • E.7 Archetypal Grounding — the Tell‑Show‑Show rule applied in this pattern’s own Grounding section.
  • C.2.3 Unified Formality Characteristic (F) — governs rigor of expression and its declaration for normative Working-Model epistemes. A declared F establishes neither readability nor assurance; unchanged formal content retains its F across notation changes.

Coordinates with.

  • CT2R-LOG — Working-Model Relations and Grounding — supplies the optional elected profile that adds validationMode and, for covered structural assertions, tv:groundedBy; direct relations outside the profile need neither field.
  • Compose-CAL (Constructional Mereology) — supplies the sum, set, and slice trace content when construction assurance is selected; the trace does not define the Working-Model relation or its identity.
  • E.10 Unified Lexical Rules for FPF — supplies naming and register rules when the human-facing Working-Model is published.

Constrains:

  • All architectural patterns that publish relations SHALL present the readable Working-Model claim first. A direct relation outside an elected assurance profile needs no E.14 assurance field. When B.3.5 or another named current requirement applies, attach only its required support below the claim while preserving relation-family separation and notational independence. (Template conformance as per E.8.)

Informs.

  • Part F unification practices (context of meaning, bridges, fit levels) by reinforcing the preference for human‑readable labels with explicit alignment notes rather than silent formal substitutions.
