Overview

PartitiveMember — one member of a PartitiveHyperedge. The comprehensive of its parent PartitiveHyperedge denotes the whole concept; this member denotes one of its parts.

Per ISO 704:2022 §5.5.4.2.2, a part is either delimiting or not: a delimiting part behaves like a delimiting characteristic — it distinguishes the comprehensive (whole) from coordinate concepts. Example: for "optomechanical mouse", the delimiting parts are mouse ball, x/y-axis rollers, infrared emitter/sensor — they distinguish it from "mechanical mouse" and "optical mouse". Mouse button is NOT delimiting (all computer mice have buttons).

The binary role is sufficient — no per-member delimiting text is needed because the part itself IS the delimiting marker.
