Extend convention 6: one fact one place applies inside a single page too - the Design Document's own appendix now defines the same two cables twice under different names, so a reader concludes there are four. Two sentences added to an existing section; nothing else touched.

## 6. One fact, one place, linked from everywhere else.

**This applies inside a single page too.** Design Document r6's Appendix A defines the same two
+
conductors twice — once as *power line / signal line* and once as *signal cable / power cable* — and the
+
body uses both wordings about equally, so a reader meeting both entries concludes there are four cables.
+
A glossary that grows by accretion will do this quietly; when you add a term, check the list you are
+
adding it to.

If you find yourself restating another page's rule, link it instead. If you must restate it, say where
it is canonical and that yours is a copy. Divergent copies are the characteristic failure of a wiki used
as a pile of documents, and they are expensive precisely because both copies look authoritative.
