Articles about theory developed by one person merits a ''guarded page''. Guarded pages should stay as true to the theory's ontology and terminology as possible. This is because theory by nature includes the value judgments of that theorist. | Articles about theory developed by one person merits a ''guarded page''.

However, mathematical constructions originally developed in close association with that theory may be described in an idiosyncratic (ideally more conventionally mathematical) style, with the proviso that it must be transparent as to what the construction is guaranteed to satisfy. | However, mathematical constructions originally developed in close association with that theory may be described in an idiosyncratic (ideally more conventionally mathematical) style, with the proviso that it must be transparent as to what the construction is guaranteed to satisfy. | ||
Example: [[aberrismic theory]] is a guarded page, while [[MOS substitution]] is not. (What about [[blackdye]]? Should it require an aberrisma step?) | |||
