E.24.CD:1 - Problem Frame

An apparent ontology candidate usually arrives inside something visible: a label, form, record, diagram, source passage, or repeated field list. That visible thing may point to a real durable subject, but it may instead carry claims about several already governed objects, publish or represent them, classify them for one context, or merely use an imprecise word.

E.24.CD governs this first-use choice before E.24 opens. It neither admits a durable ontic nor creates a candidate object of its own.
