F.9:8 - Bridge occurrence, description, Card, and publication

Recover and, when needed, individuate the direct relation before describing it. A Bridge may obtain without any assertion, description, Card, registry row, or publication.

A Bridge occurrence description is constituted independently under C.2.1 from exact claim content, the already individuated occurrence as EntityOfConcern, and an effective U.ReferenceScheme. A proposal may instead be a modal C.2.1 episteme whose EntityOfConcern is the admitted direct Bridge relation kind and whose ClaimGraph designates proposed endpoints and profile; it supplies no positive occurrence reference and makes no relation obtain.

Use a Bridge Card only when durable reuse, delayed handoff, evidence review, audit, publication, or costly reversal makes reusable packaging worthwhile. A particular filled Card can be the description episteme when its C.2.1 triple supports that exact use. Its reusable layout remains separate and functions as a publication form only while the exact E.24.PUB PublicationFormExpressionRelation obtains for the selected edition and bounded use. When availability matters, publish one selected description/Card edition through E.24.PUB: its EpistemePublicationRelation occurrence, publication form, and U.PresentationCarrier remain distinct from the selected episteme and from the Bridge.

BridgeCard:
  ClaimMode: actual | candidate | negative
  BridgeOccurrenceRef?: exact ref, actual mode only
  EntityOfConcern: exact obtaining Bridge, or admitted F.9 Bridge relation kind for candidate or negative mode
  ProposedSourceSenseCellRef?: SenseCellAddressRef
  ProposedReceivingSenseCellRef?: SenseCellAddressRef
  ProposedBridgePredicateProfile?: by-value profile
  BoundedUseClaims?: each with u, d, r, t, polarity, and effective ReferenceScheme
  A10EvidenceUse?: descriptive evidence-provenance path citing independently established direct relations, plus local RelianceDisposition
  B3Use?: exact AssuranceResult for the same bounded assurance use
  ObservedLossAndCounterexamples?:
  EvidenceWarrantAndCurrentness?:
  NearestNonUse?:
  CardReferenceScheme:

For ClaimMode: actual, the description/Card episteme’s exact EntityOfConcern is the already individuated Bridge occurrence. It may package the Bridge assertion, one or more bounded-use propositions, their evidence and polarity, the descriptive A.10 evidence-provenance path, the independently established direct relations it cites, and local disposition, or the exact B.3 AssuranceResult when an actual named assurance claim is current, plus currentness and nearest non-use. Its C.2.1 identity is not the occurrence identity.

For ClaimMode: candidate or negative, no positive occurrence reference exists. The modal description/Card episteme’s EntityOfConcern is the admitted F.9 direct Bridge relation kind; its ClaimGraph designates the proposed endpoints and profile. candidate says the proposed Bridge may obtain; negative says its predicate does not obtain. Any bounded-use proposition in the same graph keeps its own polarity. Completing, approving, registering, or publishing the description/Card creates no Bridge.

The exact <ClaimGraph, EntityOfConcern, effective ReferenceScheme> triple identifies each description/Card episteme. A changed description or Card edition, evidence path, reliance disposition, B.3 AssuranceResult, registry record, E.24.PUB publication occurrence, publication form, carrier, or layout does not reidentify a fixed Bridge. Publish only the selected description/Card edition needed by the named audience and bounded use; publication changes availability, not relation truth.
