A.6.9:2 - Problem

When an umbrella predicate is used as if it were a complete answer, readers silently choose defaults:

  • Symmetry hallucination: “equivalent” is read as symmetric even when the intended relation is narrower or broader.
  • Relation-to-use jump: a true correspondence is treated as sufficient for the requested comparison or substitution.
  • Loss erasure: “same” implies lossless transfer although units, granularity, preconditions, or stance differ.
  • Permission confusion: “A is suitable for this comparison” is read as permission or authorization to perform it.
  • Implicit inversion: relation symmetry is treated as two safe use directions, or endpoint order is mistaken for the safe inclusion direction.
  • Occurrence smuggling: a named “publication use” or “mapping use” is treated as an actual publication or mapping operation.
  • Temporal incoherence: an unpinned claim silently combines different glossary, schema, code-list, ontology, or model editions.

These are ontology and inference defects, not merely word-choice defects.
