Structural Patterns
Patterns
Canonical structural forms declared by Workbench Issues and connected to analytical Lenses.
Asymmetric Structure
A structural condition where comparable regions receive unequal rule, constraint, or authority application without a declared differentiation rule.
Authority Collision
A structural condition where multiple authorities claim governance over the same region without a declared precedence or resolution rule.
Authority Merge Conflict
A structural condition where multiple authority states are combined over a shared scope without a declared merge, precedence, or reconciliation rule.
Authority Shadowing
A structural condition where a declared authority is functionally overridden by another authority without an explicit override rule.
Authority-State Mismatch
A structural condition where observed system state no longer aligns with the declared authority state that is supposed to govern it.
Boundary Leakage
A structural condition where effects, permissions, state, data, or authority cross a declared boundary without an authorized exception.
Circular Dependency
A structural condition where two or more elements depend on each other in a closed loop without an independent base condition or declared resolution mechanism.
Compatibility Violation
A structural condition where a graph, object, behavior, or runtime state exceeds a declared compatibility envelope without an authorized exception.
Constraints Underspecified
A structural condition where declared constraints are insufficient to eliminate ambiguity or multiple admissible states.
Contract Drift
A structural condition where a declared contract changes but connected structures, implementations, consumers, or expectations do not update in sync.
Convergence Failure
A structural condition where sequential or parallel states fail to resolve into an equivalent or coherent structure under shared authority and constraints.
Cross-Layer Escalation
A structural condition where escalation originating in one layer propagates into another authority, boundary, or control layer without explicit authorization.
Density Spike
A structural condition where nodes, edges, dependencies, decisions, or effects concentrate sharply within a localized region beyond declared thresholds.
Density Vacuum
A structural condition where a region expected to contain sufficient nodes, edges, coverage, or relationships falls below declared density thresholds.
Divergent Outputs
A structural condition where parallel evaluations under comparable scope and shared authority produce non-equivalent outputs.
Escalation Growth
A structural condition where impact, authority, scope, or consequence increases across sequential states without a declared limiting mechanism.
Incomplete Declaration
A structural condition where an element is declared but required attributes, dependencies, or linked definitions are missing.
Interface Mismatch
A structural condition where observed interface behavior, shape, or exchange differs from the declared interface contract.
Invariant Breakage
A structural condition where an observed state violates a declared invariant that is supposed to remain true.
Missing Authority
A structural condition where a region, action, state, or decision path exists without a declared governing authority.
Non-Deterministic Execution
A structural condition where equivalent inputs and declared constraints produce divergent outputs across executions.
Orphaned Structure
A structural condition where a node, region, object, state, or declaration exists without linkage to the governing graph or integration pathway.
Overreach
A structural condition where actions, effects, authority, or modifications extend beyond declared scope without authorization.
Persistence Instability
A structural condition where persisted state cannot be stored and restored into an equivalent structure without alteration.
Propagation Amplification
A structural condition where an effect, declaration, authority, constraint, or state increases in scope or intensity as it propagates beyond declared bounds.
Redundant Declaration
A structural condition where multiple declarations produce equivalent structural effect without semantic differentiation.
Reference Instability
A structural condition where references, identifiers, links, or anchors change across equivalent evaluations without a declared cause.
Schema Breakage
A structural condition where an instance, graph, payload, or object violates the type, shape, or rule requirements of a declared schema.
Silent Mutation
A structural condition where a change occurs without a corresponding declared update, authority update, or version change.
Threshold Breach
A structural condition where an observed metric, value, state, or condition exceeds a declared quantitative or qualitative threshold.
Unbounded Scope
A structural condition where an operation, authority, rule, or expansion has no declared upper bound, boundary, or termination condition.
Unconstrained Expansion
A structural condition where a region, process, authority, or effect expands without governing constraints limiting growth.
Undeclared Side Effect
A structural condition where an operation modifies regions outside its declared target scope without a declared propagation or side-effect rule.
