E.17.2:5 - Worked cases

The cases below assume one hypothetical project has already constituted exact L_local, bound f_eng, and resolved r_functional -> P_functional, r_procedural -> P_procedural, r_allocation -> P_allocation, and r_module -> P_module under exact R_L. They demonstrate a materialized local instance; they do not assert that these values exist in the repository or in another project.

E.17.2:5.1 - Four views of a processing plant

Exact plant Plant_X : U.System is the EntityOfConcern of four separately identified epistemes.

  • E1 states transformations, capabilities, material-flow effects, and functional boundaries. r_functional resolves P_functional; E1 conforms to that P and is a functional U.View.
  • E2 states claims about exact admitted method PlantOperation, exact A.19.SPR operational-state structure PlantRunState, and exact E.18 transformation-flow structure PlantRunFlow; its order, failure, and recovery claims designate the exact transition conditions and flow relations in those structures. It conforms to P_procedural; it is not a method description because its EntityOfConcern is the plant. No safety-bearing claim or named reliance is present in this case, so no safety-analysis, A.10, or B.3 branch is opened.
  • E3 states that PumpUnit-3 counts as local kind CoolingCirculatorSystemRole in the plant slice through a separate C.3.2 judgment over the exact candidate, kind, KindSignature edition, and slice; that claim needs no assignment. E3 separately states any obtaining assignments, capabilities, transformations, and governed responsibility structures that are current. It conforms to P_allocation; neither E3 nor P_allocation makes the classification criterion true or creates an assignment or responsibility relation.
  • E4 states constituent equipment holons, dependency structure, pipes, interfaces, substitutability, and change policy. It conforms to P_module; the diagram rendering E4 is published in remains separate.

The four conformance occurrences make E1-E4 views. Their shared holon and common local declaration do not establish any cross-view realization or consistency relation. Those claims are tested separately.

E.17.2:5.2 - Query output missing a required concern

A query constructs episteme Y from plant model X, and A.6.3 records that construction. Y is labelled functional view, but it omits the output-condition coverage required by exact P_functional. Construction obtains; conformance does not. Y is not a U.View under that P until another episteme edition with repaired claim content passes the predicate.

E.17.2:5.2.1 - Ordinary non-safety jam recovery

Candidate procedural episteme E_jamRecovery concerns exact conveyor system H. Its ClaimGraph designates exact admitted method ClearJam, an exact operational-state structure with Running, Blocked, and Resetting positions, the exact transition conditions between those positions, and the exact E.18 flow relation that resumes only after the blockage sensor is clear. These method, state, and flow facts supply the operational basis for its failure-and-recovery claims. If EpistemeViewpointConformanceRelation(E_jamRecovery,P_procedural) obtains, E_jamRecovery is a procedural U.View.

No claim in this case is safety-bearing, no receiving decision relies on a safety analysis, and no evidence or assurance result is requested. Therefore neither an A.10 evidence path nor a B.3 assurance branch is opened. A later actual clearing remains separately identified U.Work.

E.17.2:5.2.2 - Safety-triggered recovery use

Suppose a second claim says that restarting H after the same jam is safe for an exposed operator, and a named restart decision relies on that proposition. The project now identifies the exact safety-analysis episteme and its hazard, guard, and recovery claims; relates the relied-on evidence through A.10; and uses B.3 only when an actual named assurance claim for the restart use is current. If the applicable safety rule or restart decision requires assurance, state that claim, its exact target, and its named use before applying B.3. The operational method, state transitions, and flow relations remain the same exact operational basis; safety analysis and reliance are added because this claim and decision trigger them, not because every failure or recovery description requires assurance.

E.17.2:5.3 - Responsibility diagram and actual assignment

A responsibility-diagram episteme E concerns exact System H. Exact local reference r_allocation : U.ViewpointRef resolves exact P_allocation; EpistemeViewpointConformanceRelation(E,P_allocation) obtains.

Diagram cue. One box names MaintainerSystemRole@Plant. That spelling can help locate the plant-side definition; by itself it establishes neither an exact local system-role kind, an assigned-kind domain, a C.3.2 judgment, nor an assignment.

Classification-only claim. If a current claim says PumpUnit-3 counts as CoolingCirculatorSystemRole for exact CoolingCirculatorKindSignature-2 and PlantSlice-7, recover J(PumpUnit-3, CoolingCirculatorSystemRole, CoolingCirculatorKindSignature-2, PlantSlice-7) = true under C.3.2. No assignment is required.

Assignment claim. If a separate claim says admitted System S holds an assignment, first recover the exact local kind—here named MaintainerSystemRole—through C.3 and declare the exact assigned-kind domain—here named PlantMaintenanceSystemRoleKindDomain. The diagram cue identifies neither. Then recover exact RA : MaintenanceWorkAssignment <: U.SystemRoleAssignment under A.2.1, with S in HolderSystemSlot, PlantMaintenanceSystemRoleKindDomain as the declaration-local assigned-kind domain, and MaintainerSystemRole as RA’s assigned-kind value.

E can assert or describe RA without becoming RA. Any responsibility of S remains a separately governed direct claim.

E.17.2:5.4 - One view, two publications

Module-interface view E is published as an interactive model and as a printed inspection sheet. Both publication occurrences select the same episteme edition. Their forms and carriers differ; E, its conformance occurrence, and its U.View membership do not.

E.17.2:5.5 - DDD Context Mapping method and product

A team enacts DDD Context Mapping. The way of doing is one independently admitted U.Method under A.3.1; an episteme that substantively describes that method may separately be a U.MethodDescription with the method as its exact EntityOfConcern. Neither is a TEVB viewpoint or view by its label.

First determine whether the product is a claim-bearing episteme or only a diagram, form, or carrier. A claim-bearing product called a Context Map is separately identified under C.2.1 as candidate episteme E with its own exact claim content, EntityOfConcern, and effective scheme. It becomes a U.View only if one exact viewpoint P admits E’s EntityOfConcern and EpistemeViewpointConformanceRelation(E,P) obtains. Method enactment, product naming, diagram form, declaration position, publication, and visual resemblance grant no membership. If the map represents independently recovered domain regions or relations, C.29 defines that correspondence; a mere carrier remains with E.24.PUB, and the drawing makes no represented world-side relation obtain.
