F.2:12 - Safe reasoning moves

  1. Localise. Hear the expression only in the exact source use now under examination.
  2. Recover. Identify the edition, passage, effective scheme, and source-local claim.
  3. Normalise minimally. Choose an LNF that preserves the source’s idiom.
  4. Explain twice. Keep an idiomatic Tech label and a genuinely helpful Plain label.
  5. Check scope. Tighten any sentence that says more than the passage supports.
  6. Signal homonymy. Note repeated spelling without claiming a relation.
  7. Stop. When the local note is clear enough for the receiving question, do not add a cell or comparison merely for completeness.
  8. Address only when needed. Use F.17’s three-part cell when later reuse requires stable addressability.
