| named-use repertoire | The smallest inspectable result that exposes subjects, statuses, claim-bearing sources, relations, limits, and gaps for one comparison or proposal use. It is not every item in a repository. |
| identified Method | A reusable world-side way of doing already identified under A.3.1. Repertoire inclusion does not repeat or strengthen that identity. |
| candidate Method account | A provisional claim-bearing episteme about a possible Method. Repertoire inclusion preserves its unresolved identity conditions. |
| MethodDescription | A description of one already identified Method under A.3.2, kept distinct from that Method, candidate accounts, and Work occurrences. |
| source contribution | The exact claim, distinction, procedure cue, evidence item, or representation taken from a named source edition for the current use, together with its limit. |
| established family relation | A classification or membership relation supported under its independent governor. A family label or repertoire row does not establish it. |
| project-local grouping | A named set assembled for one local comparison or selector use, with its criterion and unresolved family status explicit. |
| variant claim | A claim that two practices, accounts, descriptions, or editions differ in a named way. Calling them variants does not decide whether they are the same Method. |
| supported lineage relation | A source-backed relation such as edition succession, documented derivation, adoption, or adaptation between exact subjects. It records provenance, not causal effect or merit. |
| missing position | A subject, relation, edition, evidence item, or provenance link needed by the named use but not currently supported. |
