Theory versus Math

An article about a music theory framework merits a guarded page. Guarded pages should stay maximally true to the theory's concepts and terms. This is because music theory by nature includes the value judgments of the theorist.

With the theorist's permission, an associated concept may have a non-guarded page, but any sections explaining the significance to that theory itself should be guarded.

Mathematical constructions, even if originally developed in close association with that theory, may be described in a more idiosyncratic style (if necessary, 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.

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?
