ME.17:10 - Rationale

Cultural continuity and change require testable predicates, not a bundle of labels. A card can participate in one transmission claim without being recognized, selected, or retained by a whole population. That claim also does not establish that the population enacts a Method described on the card; enactment concerns independently admitted Methods in actual Work. A mandatory field can participate in an organizational selection claim while training Work, later practitioner Work, Method admission, and enactment remain separate.

Separating subject status, world claim, claim episteme, evidence, interval observations, authorization, and consequence prevents candidate laundering and invented occurrence continuity. A bounded decision can use sufficient existing grounds while preserving unresolved explanations. When a discriminating inquiry is worth its feasible work, it supports deliberate change without fictitious authority or causality. Institutional, organizational, and project cases contribute without being merged into one history.
