Domain recognizabilityMusic, dance, medicine, science, engineering, and organizations need familiar words such as style, tradition, technique, school, canon, platform, and regime.
Ontological parsimonyThose words often name slot positions or bridges over existing FPF values rather than new root kinds.
Variant-set usefulnessOpen-ended search, archives, fronts, pools, and selected sets help keep evolving alternatives visible.
Cultural-evolution specificityVariant generation and retention alone do not name transmission, recognition, memory, canon, system-role assignment, method-family evolution, or mediation.
Continuation and intervention valueA project may keep a sufficiently supported practice or change an identified generation, transmission, recognition, selection, memory, Method, Work, mediation, measurement, or refresh relation. A proposed change must warrant its burden and displaced work.
Didactic economyThe first-use pattern must be readable without becoming a cultural-evolution textbook or a list of every possible overread.
