Limitations and assumptions

This is a small offline explanatory card. Its named references do not mean that the tool retrieves external material, verifies a current programme rule, or exhaustively represents every rhetorical tradition. Five-canon vocabulary is a historical teaching framework, not a proof of argument truth.

Missing required fields, unknown fields, wrong types, and violated calculation rules return input issues. Extremely large composite outputs are rejected.

They organize inquiry rather than constituting independently sufficient evidence. For a complementary step, use Elocutio Style Canon Devices Stage Lookup: Elocutio concerns diction, figures, and verbal expression of selected material. Stylistic description does not replace evidence or guarantee persuasive effect.
