C.19.1:4 - Anti-patterns & remedies

  • Slogan as evidence. General, agentic, or Bitter Lesson is treated as proof. Repair with the cheap probe and an actual comparison basis.
  • Analogy as empirical result. A module relation, organization, or episteme is assigned compute/data scaling semantics. State a local analogy or policy and use a bearer-appropriate predicate and evidence form.
  • Universal experiment recipe. Every claim receives seeds, FLOPs, and a multi-factor design. Select the smallest method that can answer the actual risk-bearing claim.
  • General wins by non-dominance. Error bars overlap, so the more general option is declared superior. Return no empirical scale preference or cite a separate tie-break policy.
  • Single-winner leaderboard. Hidden budget mixing or scalarization replaces Pareto comparison. Restore comparable windows, objective coordinates, uncertainty, and policy identifiers.
  • Debt without trigger. A local bounded tactic is entered into Heuristic Debt. Apply the BLP-4 trigger before creating the entry.
  • Elegant-math override. A specialized mathematical lens is selected because of elegance or prestige while scale advantage is live. Use the proportionate BLP comparison; otherwise keep the lens local under the C.29 stop condition.
