A.19.UNM:2 - Problem

Without an explicit UNM governing pattern:

  1. Normalization drifts into hidden places. It gets embedded inside scoring, comparison, or selection, making admissibility and governance non-local.

  2. Comparability becomes rhetorical. People say “we normalize” but cannot answer: Which method? Which invariants? Which bearer, comparison basis, scope and window? Which evidence? Does the receiving comparison rely on an actual Bridge, kind relation, or plane relation?

  3. Basis and relation changes become invisible. Teams reuse normalizations for another bearer, comparison basis, source-local meaning, or reference plane without naming what changed or the relation on which the new use depends.

  4. Engineers cannot reconstruct the mechanism. When UNM semantics are scattered, the pattern structure (problem/forces/solution) is lost, hurting didactic use by engineering managers.
