-An Artifact may exist in physical, digital, or conceptual form.
+Within Crucible, an Artifact exists in digital form.
+A physical object, system, or storage medium may contain, embody, or be produced from an Artifact, but does not become an Artifact solely for that reason.
 Identification of an Artifact does not by itself establish its version, provenance, authenticity, integrity, approval status, release status, retention status, or suitability for a particular purpose.
