GROUND_AS_PARENT 2026-08-13 · claude-opus-5
ENVO:00000020 'lake' attached as a parent, not adopted as the identity (NARROW). A lake's aphotic zone is not MARINE. The earlier decision keyed on the bare leaf 'Aphotic zone' and grounded every path ending in it to the marine term. Path: Environmental > Aquatic > Freshwater > Lake > Aphotic zone (source concept habitatmech:GOLD.fcba7e6334)
