A.6.P.RI:8 - Common Anti-Patterns and How to Avoid Them

Copying a relative direction. The source and recipient face different ways, but both act on the same word. Recover the source direction and the intended receiving result before deriving the recipient’s instruction.

Replacing every “I” with the recipient. A quotation or relayed instruction loses its original speaker. Preserve the source attribution unless the new task deliberately applies a rule to another participant.

Treating shared facts as self-identification. Several systems receive the same participant description, but none has been linked to its own entry. Obtain that link from the actual working configuration.

Turning a felt report into a bodily cause. “The dancer reports tension here” becomes “this tissue causes the failure”. Preserve the report and use the appropriate subject method to examine the causal claim.
