Appearance, Indicator, Variable
Appearance, indicator , and variable are frequently collapsed within GIW description, producing drift into evidence and mechanism. Appearance names what is present. Indicator names a visible marker within appearance. Variable names a dimension along which appearance varies. Instability begins when indicators are treated as evidence or variables as causes. This paper maintains their separation as distinct descriptive roles without conversion into explanatory function.
