This is a Request For Comments about how to structure doctrine in terms of microdoctrine (a pattern language for implementing and learning doctrine)
Phase: Stop Self Harm
Category: Communication
Principle: Use A Common Language
Practice: Use Common Symbols
Motivation:
The governance system must provide a mechanism for coordination and engagement between groups. This requires a mechanism of shared learning. An example of shared learning would be discovery and dissemination of good practice. To achieve this, we must have a common language. Collaboration without a common language is only noise before failure.
Consider these first:

Detailed description:
Use symbols in a way that maintains their common definition. Feel free to add more symbols as required, but bias toward common symbols.
STOP READING, TAKE ACTION
Consider next:
Use Maps or Use Common Terms
