Name concepts using complete declarative statements that make falsifiable claims rather than topic labels to enable direct composition and evaluation.

Why This Is a Principle

Grounds to Linguistic Structuring of Thought (language structures thought boundaries) and Graded Category Membership Structure (categories have graded membership). Matuschak's evergreen note principles demonstrate this. Prescribes declarative naming over categorical labels. Actionable (write claims not topics), general, and follows from axioms about how language shapes cognition.
