Plain-name. Architecture-structure wording repair.

Intent. Recover architecture or structure wording whose selected structure, architecture relation, architecture-description use, structural-view use, source-return relation, or named C.30 subcase is hidden before a reader applies A.22, C.30, C.30.ASV, or a named C.30.* pattern.

This pattern does not mint U.Architecture, does not fuse architecture and structure into one kind, and does not replace grounded architecture adequacy or structural-view adequacy. It repairs overloaded wording so the architecture, structure, description, view, publication, source, relation, characteristic, mathematical-lens, evidence, assurance, gate, work, decision, causal-use, release, or ordinary-prose use becomes recoverable by value.

Builds on. E.10, E.10.ARCH, A.22, C.30, C.30.ASV, C.2.P, A.6.P, A.6.F, C.29, C.16.P, C.16, C.25, E.17, and E.8.

Coordinates with. C.30.TGA-FLOW-REL, C.30.LCA, C.30.ILC, named C.30.* structure and view patterns, A.10, B.3, A.20, A.21, C.11, C.28, A.15, E.11, and work, release, and publication patterns governing those claims.

E.10.ARCH governing relation. When E.10 encounters architecture or structure wording whose selected structure, architecture relation, architecture-description use, structural-view use, source-return relation, source label, or neighboring claim is hidden, E.10.ARCH selects C.30.P only until the use under repair and governing pattern are recovered. C.30.P then stops applying; it does not become a registry of architecture topics or a substitute for A.22, C.30, C.30.AD, or named C.30.* patterns.

Use this pattern when architecture or structure wording hides which use is being made and recoverable by value.

#Use this when

Use this pattern when architecture or structure wording hides which use is being made and recoverable by value.

Typical triggers:

• architecture, architecture description, architecture model, architecture diagram, architecture map, architecture dashboard, architecture score;
• structure, structural view, structural model, module layout, component structure, interface structure, or stratification wording or source-label wording such as layer, level, tier, stack, ladder, rung, block, expert, cache, router, or gate that must go to C.30.STRAT before local architecture or structure assignment;
• graph, flow, TGA graph, control sketch, LCA diagram, ADR, dashboard, benchmark, source, or view being treated as architecture or structure by wording alone;
• a function, module, interface, signature, flow, control, quality, score, evidence, assurance, gate, work, decision, causal-use, or release claim being smuggled under architecture or structure wording.

What goes wrong if missed. A diagram becomes the architecture, a graph becomes proof, a view becomes the selected structure, a source document becomes an architecture decision, a score becomes architecture adequacy, or a function, module, or interface claim becomes architecture by default.

What this buys. The reader can recover the architecture or structure use under repair, block the overread, and move to the governing pattern: selected structure under A.22, grounded architecture claim or conditional architecture description under C.30, architecture structural view under C.30.ASV, stratification-wording repair and source-label repair under C.30.STRAT, TGA-flow relation under C.30.TGA-FLOW-REL, control-structure view under C.30.LCA, mathematical lens under C.29, characteristic and scale repair under C.16.P, or a project-side evidence, assurance, gate, work, decision, causal-use, release, or publication pattern.

First useful move. Ask which selected structure, architecture relation, architecture-description use, structural-view use, source-return relation, or neighboring claim the architecture or structure wording is actually naming, then either apply the architecture or structure pattern named by value directly or use one architecture-structure repair note to assign the claim elsewhere.

Not this pattern when.

• If the use under repair is already a selected structure, use A.22 directly.
• If the use under repair is already ArchitectureOf@Context, use C.30 directly. If the use under repair is the full ArchitectureDescription@Context mechanism, use C.30.AD; use C.30 only for the thin architecture-description bridge tied to one architecture move.
• If the use under repair is already an architecture structural view, use C.30.ASV or a named C.30.* view pattern directly.
• If the claim being made is evidence, assurance, gate, work, decision, causal-use, release, mathematical-lens use, characteristic and scale construction, quality characterization, source-use, or relation construction, use the governing pattern for that claim after any architecture or structure wording is demoted or assigned.

#Problem frame

Working engineers often say "architecture" or "structure" while pointing at a useful artifact: a diagram, model, graph, table, dashboard, ADR, code-agent relation graph, neural-network architecture-operation diagram, benchmark result, or source document. Ordinary speech is acceptable; FPF-governed prose is not. If the artifact is named by a source label such as block, layer, expert, cache, router, or gate, use C.30.STRAT before assigning the recovered use locally.

The repair question is:

Which selected structure, architecture relation, architecture-description use, structural-view use, source-return relation, or neighboring claim does the wording name, and which FPF pattern governs that claim?

The architecture or structure use under repair may be:

• selected structure under A.22;
• an ArchitectureOf@Context claim under C.30, a thin architecture-description bridge under C.30, or the full architecture-description mechanism under C.30.AD;
• an ArchitectureStructuralView@Context or named C.30.* subcase;
• a publication, view, face, PublicationUnit, carrier, dashboard, ADR, source document, or source-return relation under C.2.P or E.17;
• a relation construction under A.6.P;
• a function or functionality-kind use under A.6.F;
• a mathematical-lens use claim under C.29;
• a characteristic, scale, score, coordinate, threshold, or quality-coordinate claim under C.16.P or C.16;
• a Q-bundle or quality-characterization claim under C.16.Q, C.25, or E.21;
• an evidence, assurance, gate, work, decision, causal-use, release, or method claim under its governing pattern;
• ordinary prose with no FPF-governed use being made.

#Problem

How can FPF repair architecture or structure wording without:

• creating U.Architecture;

• treating architecture and structure as one fused kind;

• treating a description, view, diagram, graph, dashboard, source, ADR, model, or publication as the architecture itself;

• assigning all function, flow, module-interface, signature, control, evidence, assurance, gate, decision, work, quality, mathematical-lens, or source claims to architecture;

• duplicating first-stage repair lists inside A.22, C.30, C.30.ASV, and every named C.30.* subpattern?

#Forces

#Solution

Repair architecture or structure wording by producing an architecture-structure repair note or an equivalent local rewrite.

Minimum fields:

ArchitectureOrStructureRepairNote:
  triggerSpan:
  boundedTextSpanOrPublicationUnit:
  encounteredFPFKindOrReference:
  candidateClaimUses:

Use the note only when the repair must remain inspectable. A direct local rewrite is enough when one sentence clearly names the selected-structure claim being made, architecture relation, architecture-description use, structural-view use, source-return relation, or governing pattern.

#Recovery sequence

1. Capture the trigger. Copy the architecture or structure wording and the sentence that uses it.
2. Recover the encountered FPF kind or reference. Decide whether the text points to a selected structure, architecture claim, description, view, diagram, graph, model, dashboard, ADR, source document, carrier, publication, stratification-wording case or source-label case for C.30.STRAT, function, module-interface relation, signature, flow, control, score, quality term, evidence, gate, work, decision, release, or ordinary prose.
3. Recover source-publication relations before architecture assignment. If the wording relies on a source, publication, view, face, PublicationUnit, dashboard, ADR, file, carrier, or source-return relation, apply C.2.P for source-use, source-currentness, and publication relations before assigning the architecture or structure claim.
4. Choose the governing pattern for the architecture or structure use.
   • selected structure -> A.22;
   • ArchitectureOf@Context, selected architecture-relevant structure, or thin conditional ArchitectureDescription@Context bridge use -> C.30;
   • full ArchitectureDescription@Context mechanism -> C.30.AD;
   • architecture structural view -> C.30.ASV;
   • TGA-flow relation -> C.30.TGA-FLOW-REL;
   • control-structure view -> C.30.LCA;
   • cross-scope conflict or frustration triage -> C.30.ILC;
   • stratification wording or source-label wording such as layer, level, tier, stack, ladder, rung, block, expert, cache, router, or gate -> C.30.STRAT before choosing the final governing pattern;
   • named C.30 subcase -> that subpattern.
5. Assign non-architecture claims to their governing patterns. If the sentence uses architecture wording to carry relation, function or functionality, mathematical-lens, characteristic and scale, quality, evidence, assurance, gate, work, decision, causal-use, release, or method claim, apply the governing pattern for that claim and keep this pattern only for the architecture or structure wording repair.
6. State admissible and non-admissible use. Say what the reader may do with the repaired wording and what non-admissible adjacent interpretation is blocked.
7. Stop C.30.P after assignment. Stop after the governing pattern or ordinary-prose demotion is named.

#Direct governing-pattern assignments

#Refresh and reopen conditions

Reopen or narrow C.30.P when the FPF pattern-language ecology changes the first architecture or structure entry:

• a named C.30.*, structural-view, TGA-flow, LCA or control, module-interface, mathematical-lens, characteristic, evidence, assurance, gate, work, decision, causal-use, release, or publication pattern now governs one row directly;
• source-current architecture-description, view, model, decision-record, or architecture-documentation practice changes one adopted distinction in C.30.P:7;
• README, ToC, E.11, retrieval, or local Problem-frame entry cues change the first practical entry for hidden architecture or structure wording;
• a governing pattern starts copying first-stage architecture or structure trigger lists that belong here;
• C.30.P begins to act as a registry of architecture topics rather than a wording-use repair pattern for hidden selected structure, architecture relation, architecture-description use, structural-view use, source-return relation, or named C.30 subcase.

The refresh action is to remove, narrow, or reassign the first-stage row. It is not to preserve old assignment wording as history.

#Worked cases

#Reduced SoTA row

Current architecture-description, model, view, and decision-record practice treats architecture as distinct from architecture descriptions, models, views, viewpoints, diagrams, and decision records. FPF adopts that line only where it changes action guidance: examples, non-use boundaries, governing-pattern assignments, source-return conditions, and conformance checks.

This row belongs in this pattern because it blocks diagram-as-architecture, graph-as-proof, view-as-structure-kind, publication-as-claim, and ADR-as-decision overreads. It does not import any external standard as FPF ontology.

• A.22 governs selected structure and structural views as structure.

• C.2.P recovers source, publication, view, face, PublicationUnit, carrier, and source-use disposition.
• A.6.P repairs relation construction; A.6.F repairs function and functionality wording; A.6.M repairs module-relation and interface-specification wording.
• C.16.P repairs characteristic-and-scale wording, and C.16.Q repairs quality-term or evaluative characterization wording before score or quality use.
• C.29 governs mathematical-lens use and does not become architecture by analogy.
