C.16.Q:8 - Common Anti-Patterns and How to Avoid Them

Anti-patternSymptomWhy it failsHow to avoid or repair
Magic scalar qualityone number silently stands for several evaluative familiesconflates senses and bearers and ignores scoring legalitypublish one explicit QualitySense and an admissible normal form
Preconceptual-as-metricfelt fit is presented as if it were already a measured characteristicerases articulation stage and overstates evidencekeep it as SignalPack until an admissible proxy is declared
Engineering adjective driftreliable, maintainable, or high-quality appear with no explicit Characteristic or Q-Bundlehides measurement shape and scoperewrite to one U.Characteristic or one Q-Bundle
Selector ambiguityquality in QD and NQD is left undefinedbreaks comparability and selection semanticsdefault to QS.UseValue unless another objective head is declared explicitly
Model-quality collapselatent fit, explanatory merit, and control adequacy are merged under one phrasedestroys bearer and frame distinctionssplit into separate qualityTermAscription(...) records
Architecture-vs-description collapsearchitecture quality is used with no explicit bearer lanecollapses the system-side bearer into its description, carrier, or publication facepublish the bearer lane explicitly and select QS.EngineeringQualityFamily or QS.ArchitecturalDescriptionFitness
Action-invitation-as-qualityaction invitations are narrated as if they were evaluationsthe rewrite hides action semantics instead of clarifying themstop the Q-rewrite and apply A.6.A for wording recovery, then the pattern for the recovered claim or question; state the actual claim or question and the participants and conditions its use needs; keep source-tradition affordance wording only as a quoted cue
Generic-frame collapseone evaluationFrame or context label is expected to supply probe, model, comparison, scope, and scheme semanticshides independently governed choices and makes a changed comparison look like the same claimname the effective ReferenceScheme, probe/model frame, A.19.CPM comparison frame, and ClaimScope separately
Embedded viewpointthe record stores a viewpoint-looking value as evaluator or generic contextcollapses reference, viewpoint episteme, evaluator, and resultstore one governed U.ViewpointRef or none; resolve it under E.17.0 and keep evaluator separate
Witness-is-groundinga test report, trace, score, or filled record is cited as empirical groundingpresence of a carrier or result label establishes no direct relationname witness refs and A.10 path separately; cite an exact obtaining EpistemeEmpiricalGroundingRelation or none
Bridge-by-label or stance noteshared quality wording or an F.9.1 stance word is treated as the cross-local relation or use authoritycreates false identity, silent loss, and unauthorized substitutionresolve exact F.17 cells, test and cite the F.9 Bridge, then state the separate bounded-use claim; add a Card only as optional packaging and a stance note only when its EntityOfConcern is that claim
