A.3.4.P:8 - Common Anti-Patterns and How to Avoid Them

Anti-patternSymptomRepair
Cue word as ontology“Pipeline”, “process”, “network”, or “circuit” is treated as the FPF kind.Recover the current object: U.Transformation, TransformationFlowStructure, mathematical description, method, work, publication, or direct subject pattern.
Replacement by smoother umbrella“Process” is replaced with “flow” or “operation” without recovered kind.Run the replacement through the same recovery. If the kind is still hidden, leave it unresolved.
Network head inflationFrequent network or circuit wording becomes a peer durable head.Use network or circuit as structure form, topology label, mathematical-expression family, domain label, or subject-domain system only when recovered by value.
Selected structure as transformation compositionCommon membership in one flow, path, network, circuit, or pipeline is treated as a composite transformation, transformation-part relation, or proof of indivisibility.Use E.18 only to position, relate, or locate transformation loci and adjacent governed values. Ground every actual U.Transformation independently under A.3.4; common structure membership establishes neither composition, parthood, nor partlessness.
Workflow as performed workA workflow diagram or process model is treated as dated work.Use A.3.2, E.18, or C.2.P.DR for the description or structure; use A.15.1 only for dated work.
Function as proof of behaviorA module, port, participant, assignment occurrence, or “transformer” label is treated as proof of actual change or action.Recover the actual transformation basis. For performed Work, recover each precise performer’s A.13 core and independently admit the Work under A.15.1; add F.6 only when precise assignment-bound attribution is current, and name the required separate Work-to-change relation. Otherwise use the exact participant, operation-application, functioning, causal, or other direct actor-side relation.
Architecture influence as actionA manufacturing or certification organization, design organization, Method or Method family, toolchain, communication System, selected structure, or other value is called the actor because it constrained or enabled a candidate.Recover the value’s exact kind first, then only its exact architecture, Work, communication, constraint, or candidate-synthesis relation. For an actor claim, apply the separate performed-Work or non-Work test in 4.4.
Publication as changeA diagram, proof, dashboard, or source span is treated as the changed object or change occurrence.Recover the cited object’s kind and use under its subject pattern; use A.3.4 for any claimed actual change.
