Existing Wording: The corresponding reverse relationship from the target to the source exists in a logical sense, but is not represented explicitly in the target resource.
Proposed Wording: The corresponding reverse relationship from the target to the source exists in a logical sense, but is not typically represented explicitly in the target resource.
Comment:
I don't think there is a strict requirement that this circular relationship doesn't exist, which leads me to my proposed wording change. For example, MedicationRequest A can reference MedicationRequest B, which can reference MedicationRequest A again. Another example: Condition.detail -> MedicationRequest.supportingInformation -> Goal.addresses -> Condition again.
Found documentation indicating that circular resource references are allowed. Perhaps reference/relate to references.html#2.3.0.7 somehow
Summary:
Circular relationship between resources
