SIDP values cannot be conferred on a-nodes or c-nodes on account of their situations as role players.
A SIDP value cannot be conferred on any node that has a role as an a-node or c-node in any assertion by its situation as a role player in another assertion.
Trying to make two things clear: 1) nodes have roles in assertions,
i.e., a node may be an a-node in one assertion and yet a x-node in
another, 2) that the determination of whether a SIDP value can be
conferred requires determination of the roles a node plays in all
assertions. The latter is not a question for processing of topic maps
but in the design of the TM Application.
