Duplication-as-missing-abstraction pattern: the recurring signal where writing the same idea twice indicates an unnamed shared pattern, functioning as a diagnostic for insufficient decomposition that recurs across note-taking, code, and organizational knowledge

Why This Is a Pattern

Exemplifies Externalization Exposes Hidden Structure (atomicity enables recombination). Pattern recurs in DRY principle, note dedup, concept extraction.
