#A.6.B:6.1 — Explicit reference rule

Preface node heading:a-6-b-6-1-explicit-reference-rule:7200

#Content

If a claim’s meaning materially depends on another routed claim, that dependency MUST be represented as an explicit reference to the other claim’s ID (or to the canonical location where it lives), rather than by restating it.

Guideline (informative). Treat this as “import hygiene” for prose: reuse by reference, not by copy.
