F.3:1 - Intent & applicability

Intent. Consolidate the expressions recovered by F.2 into a small set of source-local meaning claims under an explicit source and edition and an effective reference scheme. Merge aliases that the source uses interchangeably; split uses whose argument patterns, entailments, or practical consequences differ. The result stays local to its stated interpretation basis.

Use this when. Several expressions or uses from a selected source may carry one meaning, or one expression may carry several meanings that matter to the receiving question. Repeat when a changed passage, edition, or interpretation basis changes that partition.

Do not use this when. The local meaning is already clear enough, or the question is whether two meanings from distinct interpretation bases are related. That is an F.9 question. F.3 creates no kind, assignment, cross-source sameness, or permission.
