Contributing and Corrections

Useful contribution types

  • identify a source mismatch;
  • recover a missing qualifier or relation;
  • provide a counterexample;
  • distinguish two mechanisms that were merged;
  • show that two terms describe the same process;
  • propose an operational definition or measurement;
  • report a valid null;
  • test portability without project vocabulary;
  • improve navigation without changing claim status;
  • document whether a correction propagated.

Where to contribute

Conduct

Strong criticism is welcome when it stays on the object and supplies a correction path. Personal praise or hostility does not replace evidential work. Humor is welcome when it returns to the object rather than becoming a way to escape it.
