Usage Advice
Use when
- Use on an
EntityExistenceto name the single entity whose existence-over-time the situation records.
Avoid when
- Avoid pointing it at more than one entity (it is functional and identity-constitutive — mint a separate
EntityExistenceper entity) and avoid using it on the flat form, which attaches existence directly to the entity.
How to use
