E.19:6 - Bias-Annotation
Lenses tested: Gov, Arch, Onto/Epist, Prag, Did. Scope: Universal (applies to all patterns and all clusters).
Bias risks and mitigations:
- Governance bias (Gov): reviewers may over-prioritize compliance signals and under-prioritize teaching value. Mitigation: PCP‑BASE checks didactic grounding and internal coherence and prioritizes ontology and semantics.
- Architecture bias (Arch): internal package architecture can displace the problem-owning domain or practice.
Mitigation: test EntityOfConcern, narrowed branch, and practical payoff against the domain/practice question and relevant SoTA under
CC-E19-7. - Epistemic monoculture (Onto/Epist): SoTA‑Echoing can become single-tradition name-dropping. Mitigation: use multiple traditions when the question or claimed breadth requires them; make substantive disagreement visible. Use F.18 for neutral durable naming when its use condition applies.
- Pragmatic bias (Prag): a pattern can be “correct” yet unusable.
Mitigation: consequences and anti-patterns remain mandatory sections, surfacing material costs or limitations and grounded misuse or application boundaries under
E.8; an already established boundary may be referenced. - Didactic bias (Did): narrative quality can be mistaken for truth. Mitigation: conformance and SoTA‑Echoing sections bind claims to explicit requirements and lineage.
