F.9.1:2 - Object and identity

A bridge stance note is an ordinary C.2.1 episteme. It is not a U-kind and it is not part of the Bridge occurrence.

Its C.2.1 identity is settled as follows:

• its EntityOfConcern is one exact F.9 bounded-use claim;
• its ClaimGraph states the selected stance, the ordinary-language reading that stance abbreviates, and the nearest overread it rejects;
• its effective ReferenceScheme supplies the local meanings of the stance wording.

Changing the bounded-use claim, stance, material reading boundary, or effective scheme identifies another stance episteme. Rewording that preserves those values may be a new edition of the same claim-bearing account under the applicable C.2.1 edition rule. Changing how the note is published or found—for example, its Card, registry entry, file, or visual placement—does not reidentify it.

The underlying bounded-use claim remains primary. It names the obtaining Bridge, proposed use, direction, correspondence rule, tolerated loss, and polarity. The stance note describes how to read that claim; it supplies none of those values and cannot change them.
