META-ALCC-0001
Metaphorical
Analogy
Neural network explanation
The brain literally works like a computer
Metaphor treated as mechanism
OUT_OF_SCOPE
Analogy is illustrative not literal|Biological systems differ from computers|Category mismatch
Assuming analogy is literal truth
High
META-ALCC-0002
Conceptual
Theory
Economic discussion
Markets want stability
Intentionality attribution
OUT_OF_SCOPE
Markets are not agents|Intent is metaphorical|Category error
Assuming abstract systems have desires
Medium
META-ALCC-0003
Statistical
Aggregate
Risk analysis
This average guarantees individual outcome
Level collapse
OUT_OF_SCOPE
Aggregate statistics do not determine individuals|Level mismatch|Probability misused
Assuming averages apply to individuals
High
META-ALCC-0004
Mechanistic
Biological
Genetic explanation
This gene causes intelligence
Trait oversimplification
OUT_OF_SCOPE
Complex traits polygenic|Single gene insufficient|Abstraction collapse
Assuming single cause for complex trait
High
META-ALCC-0005
Normative
Value judgment
Ethical debate
This is wrong therefore impossible
Normative-descriptive conflation
OUT_OF_SCOPE
Moral judgment distinct from physical possibility|Category error
Assuming values constrain facts
Medium
META-ALCC-0006
Simulation
Model
Traffic simulation
Cars will behave this way in reality
Model–reality conflation
OUT_OF_SCOPE
Simulation abstracts reality|Assumptions embedded|External validation required
Assuming model output equals reality
Medium
META-ALCC-0007
Symbolic
Representation
Mathematical model
The equation is the system
Representation conflated with referent
OUT_OF_SCOPE
Models represent systems|They are not the system|Category error
Assuming symbol equals reality
High
META-ALCC-0008
Heuristic
Rule of thumb
Decision making
This rule always works
Heuristic absolutized
OUT_OF_SCOPE
Heuristics context dependent|No universal validity|Abstraction misuse
Assuming heuristic is law
Medium
META-ALCC-0009
Descriptive
Observation
Social analysis
This trend proves causation
Description to causation leap
OUT_OF_SCOPE
Observation does not imply causation|Category shift invalid
Assuming description proves mechanism
High
META-ALCC-0010
Explanatory
Story
Science communication
This narrative explains the mechanism
Narrative mistaken for mechanism
OUT_OF_SCOPE
Narratives simplify|Mechanisms require evidence|Category mismatch
Assuming story equals explanation
Medium
