I guess a key question that I'd like to get feedback from others on is whether "Parent Taxon" and "circumscribed organisms" are *both* intrinsic properties of "taxon concept", or if "taxon concept" is effectively equivalent to "circumscription", relegating "parent taxon" as a property of Classification, separate from "Taxon Concept".
But "Parent Taxon" is a circumscription itself. Its children are circumscriptions of circumscriptions. A specimen is the ultimate circumscription.
