B.1:8 - Common Anti-Patterns and How to Avoid Them

Anti-patternSymptomRepair
Gamma as head ontologyΓ is treated as the thing that makes all wholes.Recover the ontology-side claim first; use Γ only as constructional or mathematical apparatus when selected.
Graph as structureA diagram or graph is treated as the part-whole structure.Name the selected structure and relation pattern; keep the graph as representation or math lens.
Method as workA method decomposition is used as evidence that work occurred.Use A.15.1 for performed-work occurrence and evidence.
Collection as acting wholeA list or pool decides, acts, or bears responsibility.Recover who or what belongs under the collection’s own rule or its collection-as-whole account, or admit the actual collective System under A.1. A system-role kind, assignment, Method, or Work does not establish responsibility; name the predicate and the pattern or rule that defines it, or state that this is missing.
Emergence by narrative“More than the sum” replaces existing-whole analysis.Check existing-whole explanations before B.2.
