A.6.C:8 — Common Anti-Patterns and How to Avoid Them

Anti-patternWhy it failsRepair
Literal commitment assigned to a descriptionAn interface label does not select a description or an actual bearer; a carrier bears a publication form and is not thereby a description episteme.Recover the claim and referent. Keep a semantic guarantee or clear policy metonymy. For a literal commitment, name the capable bearer, current policy and separately obtaining U.Commitment; keep any assignment as rule ground. Distinguish description, represented interface/access object, form and carrier only when the claim needs them.
Guarantee-without-substrateThe word hides whether the claim is semantic, deontic, an entry condition, an actual gate result, or another observed or evaluated resultClassify semantic law as L, a generic prescription or claim about an exact individual commitment or current grant as D, an entry predicate as A, and an exact A.21 GateDecisionResult or other observed or evaluated result as E; use A6-AW-* for permission-looking wording.
SLA smuggled into lawsMixes governance with semantics; breaks substitution reasoningState the target as a generic D prescription or an exact individual commitment, reference its L-defined metric and A conditions, and cite the exact E evaluated result plus A.10 support when current
Gate written as obligationConfuses admissibility predicates with deontic claimsWrite the predicate as A; write a generic prescription or separately instituted individual duty as a D→A reference.
Work-result-evidence bundle“The delivered work and its log prove acceptance” makes one phrase carry occurrence, result, transfer, evidence, and verdictName the A.15.1 Work first; use the applicable A.15.1:4.6 route for each current result, delivery/transfer, or acceptance claim, and A.10 for each evidence-use claim. Omit absent claims.
Face-level paraphrase driftA face silently changes a claim’s object or quadrantUse meaning-preserving face prose and cite the canonical claim ID or location, direct object, and selected A6-AW-* row when applicable. Add a new boundary claim to its canonical source before publishing it on a face. Use verbatim text when exactness is critical or disputed.
Cross-scale contract collapseCommitments, grants, and conflict findings at different scales are treated as one D claimKeep commitments and current grants as separate D claims; classify the permission conflict finding as E through A6-AW-CONFLICT; use mediation only under its subject pattern
Mandatory four-question recordEvery clear use of contract wording creates rows for all four questionsApply A.6.C only to a consequential ambiguity, answer only the live questions, and let a one-off repair end in the repaired atomic prose
