A.16:6 - Bias and common mistakes

A.16 biases authors toward typed movement and away from “it naturally matured.” The bias must not become bookkeeping for its own sake: one local note is the default.

• Trajectory-wrapper inflation. Do not wrap every move in A.16.0.
• Pattern-as-form or form-face collapse. A pattern, publication form, episteme, occurrence, carrier, and MVPK face remain different.
• Identity laundering. A new form is not automatically a new episteme; changed C.2.1 content cannot be hidden as mere reformatting.
• Irreversible maturity story. Reopen, sketch-backoff, respecify, and retire are admissible.
• Route/fork confusion. Several routes in one publication are not separate successor epistemes.
• Silent branch disappearance. Retire, merge, or show that a route never became a separate branch.
• Status bundle. Do not call route selection, endpoint admission, publication, current use, and actual authority one state.
• Hidden Work. Formal wording, a gate-facing form, or an operational hook establishes no Work or Work result.
• Endpoint substitution. A.16 docks to the endpoint pattern; it never relaxes or replaces that pattern’s conditions.
• Old formality-only climb. Unpack “informal to formal” into the actual move, facet change, route selection, identity case, and use change.
• Hidden-lineage laundering. If an endpoint claim depends on earlier move publications that cannot be recovered anywhere in the publication chain, treat the history as incomplete until those records or an adequate A.16.0 account are supplied.
