NOT.2:10 - Architectural Rationale

Formation, binding and composition answer connected questions. Formation identifies how an expression is built. Binding determines how its references obtain their values or participants. Composition determines how component boundaries are joined. A grammar that answers only the first question can leave the other two undecided.

This method develops the missing rules. NOT.1 selects what the work needs them to support; NOT.3 gives the interpretation and reading operations. A.6.3.RT.OE supplies construction under an available scheme. MATH.17/.18 can describe the operations and their interpretations mathematically, while CMP.12 constructs an effective interpreter or translation when required. The general notation-design result remains usable without first constructing all of those formal accounts.

Different graphical presentations or local names can express the same construction under the chosen rules. Treating them as equivalent requires the corresponding argument; it cannot be inferred from visual similarity. Conversely, giving two ports the same type cannot identify their roles. Keeping those questions explicit allows the notation to help reasoning about the construction itself.
