F.2:10 - Anti-patterns & remedies

#Anti-patternSymptomWhy harmfulRemedy
A1Global normal formOne canonical label is reused across sources.It erases source-local meaning.Keep an LNF per recovered source use; relate meanings only in F.9.
A2String = meaningIdentical spelling is treated as one concept.Homonyms such as role and process collapse.State source, scheme, and LocalSenseClaim before comparison.
A3Over-normalisationCase, hyphens, or modifiers are removed for consistency.Source cues and citations become unreliable.Make only minimal edits.
A4Headless multiwordService-level objective becomes objective.Scope disappears.Preserve the meaningful compound.
A5Premature structureA gloss contains equations, duties, or kind axioms.A lexical note is asked to establish a substantive fact about another value.Route the substantive claim to its direct pattern.
A6Cross-source folding“BPMN process ≈ PROV activity” appears in F.2.A relation and its losses are hidden.Leave the comparison to F.9.
A7Edition blurA source name has no edition although usage changed.The claim cannot be replayed.Name the exact edition and recover the changed meaning afresh.
A8Dialect elevationA tool keyword list is treated as the whole domain.One source use displaces other evidence.Keep it as one exact source basis.
A9Tail chasingHundreds of unused terms are harvested.Signal and working memory are diluted.Keep terms that change the receiving answer.
A10Fake Plain labelTech and Plain repeat the same jargon.The cold reader gains nothing.Explain the use without widening it.
A11Design-time and run-time blurA design expression is glossed as an occurrence, or conversely.MethodDescription and Work collapse.State the actual source-local claim and route the distinction through F.11, A.3, and A.15.
A12Cross-language collapseBilingual expressions are merged because a dictionary aligns them.Normative and idiomatic differences vanish.Recover each source use; assert a relation only when one obtains.
A13Alias inflationA new technical term is invented “for clarity”.It competes with the source and hides provenance.Keep inventions, if needed, only as bounded Plain labels.
A14Role–status conflationRBAC role is glossed as an acting system role.Permission and agency claims mix.Say access role (RBAC) and use E.10.ROLE and F.4 for any system-role claim.
