MDPE.24:2.2 - Name the existing whole and the candidate

Name the existing whole that currently carries the claim, its identity through change, and the parts or participants already recognized. Then name the candidate new whole without using only a genre, scene, school, or platform label.

For a choreo-camp case, the existing whole might be a broader commercial-dance teaching and performance scene. The candidate might be a persistent cross-city network constituted by recurring providers, teachers, learners, publication Systems, status relations, and linked Work. For an annual festival, the existing whole might be one edition produced by an organization; the candidate might be an enduring festival-series System with its own operation, memory, commitments, and identity across changing editions.

A chosen scale of description is not a world-side whole. A coarse-graining operation can summarize many lower states and reveal useful macrovariables, but the representation creates neither constituents nor part–whole relations. Ground the candidate in actual Systems or other admitted holons, constructive relations that exist, and the direct criterion for its proposed kind.
