PHY.2:8 - Common Anti-Patterns and How to Avoid Them
| Misuse | Repair |
| Give components corresponding names but leave their interaction unbuilt. | Construct the connection’s physical law and state, then derive the coupled behavior. |
| Reuse isolated-component behavior after connecting a load that changes it. | Include the loading or derive conditions under which its influence is negligible for the output. |
| Start every source state at zero while the target contains stored deformation or another prepared state. | Map and realize the preparation used by the target question. |
| Treat one reproduced observation as enough to identify the target mechanism. | Derive a consequence on which plausible mechanisms differ, or keep the explanation conditional when that suffices. |
| Change a coefficient past the range an available mechanism can supply. | Reconstruct the physical source, including a required drive or new state, or retain the result in its applicable range. |
