A.6.P:10 — Rationale

Preface node heading:a-6-p-10-rationale:11103

Content

Upper/foundational ontologies optimise for broad applicability via sparse commitments. FPF’s recurring, high-cost failures are often elsewhere: under‑specified relations in prose, where ambiguity hides in arity, kind selection, viewpoint, and change semantics.

A.6.P is orthogonal to “add a global taxonomy”:

  • It provides a repeatable method to restore relational precision without requiring any external formalism or auxiliary authoring apparatus.
  • It operationalises A.6’s boundary discipline by ensuring relation talk can be cleanly separated into laws, admissibility, deontics, and evidence/work (A.6.B), rather than becoming “contract soup”.
