Finally, it is FOL
that imposes limitations on mapping.
Assume that we have an experienced analyst that is reviewing information
that has been recorded in a subject map using subject proxies. Due to
their experience, they have reached a conclusion that what appears to be
two distinct individuals is actually one. A conclusion that would result
in merging proxies that represent the purchaser of weaponized anthrax and
a recent entry into the US.
They may not have an articulable basis for that conclusion and so FOL is
not going to be of any use. Should they simply not request merging the
proxies on the basis of their judgment (assume the analyst is also
identified as a subject) since they have no way to express it in
FOL?
Hardly, one has a merging rule that says Analyst X says proxy A and proxy
B represent the same subject. Utterly outside of FOL.
Why is 'a = b' outside of FOL?
BS
