C.34:8 - Common Anti-Patterns and How to Avoid Them

Anti-patternWhy it failsRepair move
Edge-isomorphism overreadIsomorphic graphs can preserve shape while changing edge meaning, relation observation class, or use.Record relation-type semantics, preserved relation, lost relation, and non-admissible use.
Semantic-loss hidingA projection or coarsening can look clean because it drops exactly the structure that the next decision needs.Name lost structure and preservation-loss return condition before comparison, decision repair, or candidate admission.
Exact-equivalence overclaimExact equivalence is stronger than most architecture uses need and is often false.Choose the weakest adequate mapping mode: correspondence, projection, abstraction, coarsening, simulation relation, or near-sameness when that is enough.
Generated graph proof overclaimA generated graph can match labels or topology while hiding dynamic wiring, confidence, or unexplored regions.Use C.34 only for the preservation claim; handle generated-carrier admission under C.35, and apply the rules that define evidence, assurance, gate, or release claims when those claims are current.
Narrative-order equivalence overclaimA narrative can preserve a useful path through selected source structure while dropping alternatives, relation semantics, measurements, or directionality.Record the weakest adequate correspondence, preserved structure, lost structure, directionality, and non-admissible use; use A.6.3.NAR for the narrative rendering relation.
Formal lens launderingA morphism, functor, entropy value, or graph match sounds rigorous but may be local to a mathematical object.Handle lens use under C.29; use C.34 only after preserved structure, lost structure, mapping mode, and architecture use are stated.
Bridge-governance bypassA cross-context or cross-tradition mapping can preserve local structure while losing local sense.Use F.9 for the bridge and F.15 for later regression or conformance strengthening before substitution is relied on.
