Note
Every meaning of the verb passes through this form. A report asserts a claim, a newcomer asserts herself, a line of code asserts that a condition holds, and a controller asserts a signal on a line. In the reflexive use, the pronoun must match the singular subject: she asserts herself, and an old habit asserts itself. Plural subjects drop the -s and take the bare form assert.
