Why this is here
A9 §8 offered it as the counterpart of the owner’s U6 observation that a
typed relation is less flexible than its relata: “The meaning of a
relation type may depend partly on the downstream normative consequences
of using it”, as rests_on takes its significance from what happens
when its target is retired (CLAIM-479). The record holds and has
read Brandom’s Making It Explicit (LIT-794, with THEORY-665 on
scorekeeping), which A9 did not cite; this is the shorter book it named.
