E.18.NET:10 - Rationale and naming

The selected head preserves the established TransformationFlowStructure name, says that the members are structures rather than valuations, and supports recursion without fixed levels. The shorter cue “transformation-flow network” is retrieval wording only after the governed value is clear.

Mint vs reuse: E.18.NET mints the durable names TransformationFlowStructureNetwork, TransformationFlowStructureNetworkRecord@Context, ExposedFlowPositionRef, and NetworkCrossFlowRelationRowRef for the governed value family, separate description episteme, and two reference shapes defined here. It reuses U.Structure, U.Episteme, TransformationFlowStructure, FlowPositionRef, relation kinds, and relation occurrences without changing their meanings; labels, records, and references create none of those values.

NameCard:
  NameCardId: NC-TRANSFORMATION-FLOW-STRUCTURE-NETWORK
  GovernedValueRef: TransformationFlowStructureNetwork@Context <: U.Structure
  SubjectPatternLocator: E.18.NET
  ReferenceScheme: FPFCoreReferenceScheme
  LocalSenseRef: recursive selected organization over independently identified TransformationFlowStructure or TransformationFlowStructureNetwork values and exact cross-flow relation occurrences, with member boundaries and locally exposed positions preserved
  TechLabel: TransformationFlowStructureNetwork
  PlainLabel: network of transformation-flow structures
  CandidateSet: TransformationFlowStructureNetwork; TransformationFlowNetwork; CrossFlowRelationStructure; TransformationFlowDependencyStructure; CoupledTransformationFlowStructure; FlowOfFlows; CreatorGraph; CreationStructure
  RejectedCandidates: TransformationFlowNetwork can mean one network-shaped TFS; CrossFlowRelationStructure hides the transformation-flow use; TransformationFlowDependencyStructure narrows to one projection; CoupledTransformationFlowStructure suggests one merged TFS; FlowOfFlows conflicts with FlowValuation; CreatorGraph confuses the ontic structure with a graph and narrows change to creation; CreationStructure excludes operation, repair, modification, and reuse
  SelectionRationale: preserve the established TransformationFlowStructure head, make structures rather than valuations the members, and permit recursive membership without numbered levels
  LineageEntries: flow-of-flows and creator-graph examples remain retrieval lineage for the stress cases; fixed two-level and one-giant-flow ontic readings are retired
  RefreshCondition: reopen if repeated use cannot distinguish one TFS with several valuations, one subflow, and a recursive network of independently identified TFS values
