Reclassified as audit methodology, not IP; stub preserved for numbering integrity. When audit finds imbalance, thicken underweight fronts to match heaviest. Weight measured in intellectual load, not word count: equal intellectual weight, always equal to.

Explanation

Although this was reclassified out of IP status, the principle itself remains useful as a working method: when a structural audit reveals that one section, fundamental, or front of the book is carrying more intellectual weight than another, the fix is to bring the lighter side up to match the heaviest, not to trim the heavier side down.

The word-count clause is the important guardrail here. It would be easy to “balance” sections by making them the same length, but the principle explicitly rejects that measure — a short section making a dense, load-bearing point can already be equal in intellectual weight to a much longer section that’s doing lighter work. The actual target is parity of substance, not parity of page count, which keeps the audit from producing artificial padding just to make word counts match.
