MDPE.18:0.1 - Working Distinctions
| Name | Meaning here |
|---|---|
| source object | A recording, video, score, notation, interview, programme, review, photograph, event log, dataset, software artifact, instrument, costume, or other identified object used to support a claim. Keep its actual kind. |
| work record | A source about a Work occurrence. It is not the Work, Method, or capability it describes. |
| cultural-memory evidence | Evidence that material, descriptions, capabilities, Methods, carriers, or relations from earlier practice can be retrieved or used for the current decision. Artifact survival is only one possible contribution. |
| lineage claim | A supported claim about derivation, borrowing, mixture, convergence, branching, naming, teaching, influence, revival, or succession among identified variants, Methods, artifacts, Work occurrences, Agents, or populations. |
| living continuation | Repeated enactment and reproduction by a bounded population under stated conditions and period. It is tested by MDPE.19, not inferred from archive presence. |
| source-to-claim row | One source object, the part used, the supported claim, its limit, and the decision use. Several sources can support or challenge one claim. |
Cultural memory, lineage, origin, founder, repertoire, style, and tradition are useful ordinary expressions, not automatic root kinds. When a decision depends on them, say whether the subject is material, Method, MethodDescription, Work, capability, performance, event, artifact, population, or cultural relation.
A score, onset list, geometric rhythm representation, video, or motion trace is an episteme or artifact about a world-side musical or movement subject. It does not replace the rhythm, movement, performance Work, or performer–environment relations it represents.
