An article about a music theory framework merits a ''guarded page''. Guarded pages should stay as true to the theory's ontology and terminology as possible. This is because music theory by nature includes the value judgments of the theorist. | An article about a music theory framework merits a ''guarded page''.

In contrast, mathematical constructions, even if originally developed in close association with that theory, may be described in a more idiosyncratic style (if necessarily, a more conventionally mathematical one), with the proviso that it must be (accessibly!) transparent as to what the construction is guaranteed to satisfy and what it is not. | |||
With the theorist'a permission, an associated concept may have a non-guarded page, but any sections explaining the significance to that theory itself should be guarded. | With the theorist'a permission, an associated concept may have a non-guarded page, but any sections explaining the significance to that theory itself should be guarded. | ||
Example: [[aberrismic theory]] is a guarded page since it's a Theory page, while [[MOS substitution]] is not, since it's a Math page. | Example: [[aberrismic theory]] is a guarded page since it's a Theory page, while [[MOS substitution]] is not, since it's a Math page. What about [[blackdye]]? | ||
