Blindmark

A representation that states what it cannot express, where its users will meet the statement

Definition

Mechanism

A map, model, chart, summary or other Artifact that represents something carries a statement of what it cannot express and where its omissions lie. The statement names specific omissions and sits where users of the representation meet it, not in separate documentation.

Invariants

  1. States specific things the representation cannot express.
  2. The statement sits where users of the representation meet it.

Risks

Failure modes

  1. Buried caveat

    the omission statement exists where no user looks.

  2. Ritual caveat

    a generic disclaimer names no specific omission.
