General Core Diagnostics

This is a general core diagnostics. It's a simple definition, how to recognize and when it does not apply. The goal was for a slightly expanded list from the minimal core diagnostics that would be commonly used in any text or explanation.

The general core builds outward from the minimal core while keeping the same derivational basis in the diagnostic structural space. It preserves the minimal set and then adds further diagnostics that are especially likely to appear across ordinary explanatory texts, conversations, and institutional discourse, including forms that are hidden, distributed, accumulated, or cross-invariant. The purpose is to widen practical coverage while remaining far smaller and more usable than the full inventory.

Which diagnostics are included can still vary with the domain or the purpose of analysis, since different uses call for different parts of the diagnostic structural space to be foregrounded. For example, when examining news coverage, a reader may place greater weight on diagnostics such as Question Displacement, Normative Seepage, Failure Localization, Constraint Explicitness, and Narrative Substitution, because those texts often organize understanding through framing, selective scope, substituted questions, and rhetorically coherent but structurally weak sequences.
