Establish domain-specific ubiquitous language where each

Establish domain-specific ubiquitous language where each concept maps to exactly one term and each term maps to exactly one concept to eliminate translation overhead.

Why This Is a Principle

Grounds to Linguistic Structuring of Thought (language structures thought) and Scientific Paradigms Are Incommensurable (paradigms are incommensurable when terms carry different meanings). Evans' Domain-Driven Design demonstrates this. Prescribes one-to-one mapping between concepts and terms. Actionable for teams and personal systems, general, and follows from axioms about language and communication.
