Bug: The Feature

Freely functioning forms (after Carpo), forkable syntax, and proprietary semantics.

Abstract. A form "functions freely" when its variability is secured by rules. According to Carpo, parametric freedom is not arbitrariness but modular governance. Failures or bugs are not detours but observatories. When triaging bugs as potential features, scale becomes a disciplined conversion of admissible exceptions as the rule. The publication of shared syntaxes enables critique and reuse while on-premise guidelines dictate semantics. Freedom, in praxis, is protocol.
