NOT.1:8 - Common Anti-Patterns and How to Avoid Them

Failure	What changes the next move
Choosing symbols from a concept inventory	Add the relation or operation that distinguishes cases. The pipeline inventory names both functions but loses their order.
Validating recognition while relying on manipulation	Try the required change. A reader’s ability to name a diagram’s boxes leaves the effect of moving or reconnecting them unresolved.
Requiring every difference to be written	Keep the simpler expression when the omitted distinction cannot change the selected result; the onset list suffices for starting times.
Completing an unknown to fit the notation	Express the unresolved choice or narrow the answerable question. A supplied duration would change the partly designed signal sequence.
Treating a familiar layout as shared context	Check what the receiver receives. Text export can remove grouping used in the displayed diagram.
