C.29:10 - Common Anti-Patterns and How to Avoid Them

Anti-patternWhat it looks likeRepair
Map-territory collapse“The organization is a quantum system.”“A quantum-like lens models order, probe, or contextual-probability effects; no physical quantum ontology is licensed.”
Prestige substitution“Use category theory” without naming objects, morphisms, functors, preservation, or loss.Name the categorical structure, preserved composition or interface, and failed transfer.
Family-name as objectfield, graph, category, RG, or quantum appears as if the family name were enough.Name the concrete object, structure, formal position, or downgrade to Plain recognition.
C.29-everywhereEvery measurement template, score, graph, kernel, ODE, equation, or local formal object is treated as requiring C.29.Require lens-transfer, publication, assurance, bridge, comparison, or reusable-explanation use.
Card-before-problemFields are filled before the question or mathematical operation is known.State the question, construct the correspondence and derive or delimit its consequence before choosing a record.
Local-theory over-escalationAccepted local dynamics or domain equations are treated as needing C.29 by default.Keep them under the local domain pattern or A.3.3 unless a separate lens-transfer claim, publication use, assurance input, bridge, comparison, or reusable-explanation use is being made.
False exactnessEquivalence, isomorphism, or representation is declared by value when only analogy, fit, or simulation exists.Downgrade LensMappingMode or justify the declared relation named by value through the subject pattern.
RG-as-vibe“Everything is coarse-graining” with no scale window, coarse-graining rule, or fixed point.Declare scale variable, coarse-graining rule, invariants, and rival micro-models.
Elegant-math overrideA specialized or elegant mathematical lens is selected over a more general or scale-amenable alternative because of elegance or prestige while a general method scale-preference claim or architecture scale-preference claim is being made.Use BLP scale-audit when a general method scale-preference claim is being made; use C.31.ASAP when an architecture scale-preference claim is being made; otherwise mark the lens as local and bounded by C.29 stop condition.
Familiar math misses needed structureA graph, linear trend, average, two-characteristic chart, or score is used because it is familiar while the working problem needs uncertainty, topology, dynamics, causal structure, scale law, distribution geometry, or operator view.Name the working problem cue; choose a lens family that exposes the missing structure, or keep the simple math as local orientation only and block transfer, decision, evidence, assurance, publication, bridge, comparison, or reusable-explanation use.
Vanchurin over-adoption“FPF now says physics is learning.”Mark as candidate lens; retain open questions and evidence limits.
Invariant-free metaphor“Market is a field” with no invariant, transition law, observation map, or LensUseBoundaryValue.Downgrade to local metaphor or build a MathLensUse.OneLine or mini-card.
Loss-free bridgeMathematical structure is exported across semantic contexts as a Bridge without F.9, loss notes, counter-example, or declared lens use.Use F.9 Bridge plus MathLensUse LostStructure and StopCondition.
Duplicate bridge writingC.29 repeats sense cells, CL, substitution scope, and Bridge-declared lens use.Use F.9 to establish Bridge semantics; cite Bridge from the C.29 output.
LensMappingMode as BridgeKindA local LensMappingMode value is used to skip F.9.Do not define a bridge-valued LensMappingMode; use a local transfer class only for declared lens use and apply F.9 to cross-context meaning, Bridge-dependent substitution, CL, sense cells, or Bridge-declared lens use.
Causal launderingLens fit is treated as proof of intervention effect.Apply C.28 and evidence design, or block causal use.
Assurance launderingElegant formalism is treated as release confidence.Use the direct release pattern, A.10 for evidence reliance, and B.3 only for an actual named assurance claim; C.29 can be evidence input only when LensUseBoundaryValue and validation regime are declared.
LensUseBoundaryValue launderingSoTA-echo candidate sounds like authority.Restrict to exploration or lens-use tests unless validation and neighboring evidence patterns define or constrain prediction, decision, causal use, bridge substitution, assurance, or ontology.
RivalLensSet as literature reviewA broad survey is produced before a material rival question has been named.Start with the principal rival and its action-changing difference; broaden only when the actual selection or superiority question requires it.
StopCondition boilerplateThe card says only “does not prove everything.”State the concrete stop, no-lens exit, or source-return condition; include a blocked overread only when it passes F.19’s plausible-reader test.
Plain metaphor carrying law“What survives transfer” becomes an unstated Tech claim.Recover the commitment through C.2.P fields or keep it as ordinary Plain recognition only.
C.29 local-kind inflationMathLensUse.Card is treated as a universal U.* object or durable FPF record.Keep it pattern-local; durable cross-pattern records require explicit minting or reuse, naming, kind, and design-rationale decision through F.8, F.18, C.3, and E.9.
