C.2.3:2 - Problem

Without one unified F characteristic:

1. Rigor is narrated inconsistently. Different contexts invent local mode/tier language with no shared comparability.
2. Status and rigor collapse. Something accepted, published, or approved is mistaken for something precisely expressed.
3. Expression changes are hidden. A move from sketch to predicates or from executable model to proof is not recorded as a distinct content change.
4. Composition becomes unsound. A composite episteme is treated as highly formal because one segment is highly formal, even when essential support still depends on less formal parts.
5. Other characteristics are misused as surrogates. Authors quietly use scope, evidence, or language-state facets as if they were part of one master formality characteristic.
