In case it wasn't clear, this comes up because I'm working on the
issue-57 document again and have to explain what Ian Davis is trying
to do.

If P were a document instead of a person, and Alice were an
httpRange-14 believer and Bob weren't, then A might be an instance of
P (share properties such as title author etc. with it) while B might
be a description of P (that was not also an instance). Then U might
refer to A (document & IR & fiat resource), while V could not (it
would refer to a *different* fiat resource - maybe to some version of
P, but not P itself).
