Supports FPF’s Core Mission: The Rationale Mandate and HF-Loop give authors and reviewers ways to challenge formalism that does not help users reason.
Introduces “Softer” Concepts: Cognitive load and rationale quality are less quantifiable than formal proofs. Mitigation: choose a method appropriate to the actual inquiry and report only what its observations/comparison support; the HF-Loop label supplies no psychometric or causal result.
Makes inquiry responsibility explicit: Name the actual reader question, competent reviewer and applicable amendment authority separately; example profession names create no constitutional power.
-
Supports Early Correction: An HF-Loop review can identify excessive complexity and propose corrections before users become frustrated and abandon the framework.
-
Supports bounded correction: Inquiry can yield a repair, no change or a precise evidence limit.
A reading comparison costs reader time; select it only where its attainable result can improve the receiving use.
