A.12:7 - Common Anti-Patterns and How to Avoid Them
Anti-pattern
Symptom
Repair
Self-action literalism
“The system fixed itself” is accepted as one undivided claim.
Identify the acting and changed participants. Use ReflexiveSplit@Context only when §4.2’s two-entity-part and one-holon conditions hold.
Transformer kind inflation
The acting side is modeled as U.Transformer, as a special system kind, or as a provisional phrase placed in a U.System slot.
Before recognition retain the exact U.Entity and A.1 disposition or blocker and leave actingSystemRef unfilled. After recognition use the exact U.System. Add a local TransformerSystemRole classification only after C.3 recovers that kind from its system-candidate domain, work-facing membership distinction, member/non-member boundary, and continuity rule. Add acting-side participation or an assignment separately only when that exact relation is current.
Boundary as object by word
Boundary or interaction words become durable root objects.
Identify the relation actually claimed: holon delimitation, boundary crossing, transformation, signaling, evidence, source use or publication use. Apply its defining or testing rule; §4.1 gives the condition for recovering an identity-bearing ClaimGraph.
Work success by action
Because a system acted, the work is treated as successful.
Use A.15.1 and evidence-use patterns for performed work and success.
Evidence by producer
The acting system’s own output is accepted as enough evidence.
Use §4.5 to identify which claim the output supports under A.10.
Manufacturing as containment
A tool or teacher changing another holon is treated as its containing whole.
Keep transformation and part-whole claims separate.
