C.2.3:8 - Common Anti-Patterns and How to Avoid Them
| Anti-pattern | What it looks like | How FPF prevents it |
| Status leakage | An episteme is called highly formal because it is approved or published. | CC-F-13 keeps status and formality separate. |
| Tool-worship | A notation, prover, or execution harness is named, so the episteme is rated high-F without checking the content. | CC-F-11 and CC-F-12 require observable semantic grounds. |
| Appendix inflation | A small high-formality appendix is used to advertise the whole episteme as high-F. | CC-F-6 scopes the cap to the assessed composite expression and its essential content or inference. |
| Proxy ladder | A local context invents “bronze / silver / gold” or “ready / mature / final” and uses it instead of F. | CC-F-4 rejects rival ladders. |
| Characteristic capture | Articulation, closure, scope, or evidence is spoken of as if it were part of F. | CC-F-8, CC-F-10, and CC-F-15 keep the characteristics orthogonal. |
