E.17.AUD.OOTD:4.1.b - What can change
Treat the publication unit under review here as one bounded readable unit with one primary subject for the current reading. That local subject declaration does not make the unit itself the source episteme, C.2.1 EntityOfConcern, publication form, carrier, or E.24.PUB publication occurrence.
Keep five change types distinct:
- a subject change changes what the unit is mainly about;
- a concern change foregrounds another question or aspect while the subject may remain fixed;
- a claim or carried-move change changes what the unit asserts, compares, explains, or recommends;
- a downstream-use change changes what the reader is invited or allowed to do; and
- an
EntityOfConcernchange occurs only when the exact claim-bearing episteme being carried has changed in the entity participant that its claims concern underC.2.1.
Use the optional prompts in 4.3 only when these distinctions are hard to recover from the unit itself.
Only after one exact carried episteme E is identified may the author add the conditional projection publicationUnitPrimarySubject = EntityOfConcern(E), and only when both sides name the same exact entity. If the lens cannot stay stable after local repair, do not patch over the shift with a heavier declaration; reopen the unit or use the neighboring pattern that addresses the actual remaining question.
