Blocking patterns
Some actions cannot succeed without prerequisites being substantially in place. Attempting them prematurely produces failure that may foreclose later success.
| Action | Without this prerequisite | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| G-11 | G-1 not complete | Wikipedia article rejected or Wikidata entity contested; durable artifacts in edit history |
| G-9 | G-3 and G-8 not complete | Academic submissions rejected for lack of substance |
| G-4 | G-3 not complete | Pitches without citation-worthy content; pattern of unsuccessful outreach |
| M-3 | M-1 not complete | Hubs that don’t address the questions audiences actually ask |
| M-2 | M-1 not complete | Answer-first architecture for the wrong questions |
| G-3 | G-2 not complete | Long-form scattered across territories without compounding |
| All G-pillar | O-pillar not substantially complete | Generative work invisible because foundations aren’t in place |
Blocking patterns are non-negotiable. Attempting blocked actions wastes effort at minimum and produces foreclosing failure at worst.
