E.8:2 - Problem
Structural drift, stylistic fragmentation, and revision by visible proxies rather than working use threaten five qualities:
- Comparability – readers cannot align patterns lacking common headings.
- Narrative cohesion – prose swings from dry jargon to informal blog style.
- Practitioner use across revisions – cleanup can erase the recognizable situation, first action or judgement, first useful result, ordinary boundary, or affordable stop while leaving a tidier-looking text.
- Semantic and relation clarity – generic heads, false agency, imprecise neighboring-pattern contributions, and drifting package or relation words can change what the prose asserts or what a reader may do.
- Reviewability after guidance – missing or misplaced grounding, boundary, SoTA, conformance, assurance, and publication-reference material can hide a defect or replace the positive guidance it is meant to verify.
