                      Bridge to Direct Reference Theory #

                      The morningStar/eveningStar individual concepts defined above are Fregean concepts (world-dependent). In contrast, proper names in Semantics.Reference.Basic are Kripkean rigid designators.

                      This section makes the distinction explicit, connecting the existing Hesperus/Phosphorus examples to the direct reference framework.

                      morningStar is NOT rigid: it picks out different entities at different worlds. This contrasts with hesperus_rigid which IS rigid.

                      Independence of names vs concepts: a Fregean individual concept (morningStar) can agree with a Kripkean name (hesperus_rigid) at one world while diverging at others.
