Separate

Keep cultural/metaphorical meaning distinct from measurable environmental or usability claims.

Evidence boundary. Feng Shui has long historical and cultural traditions. OaSIs can use its spatial vocabulary as a design lens, while practical recommendations should be checked against direct observation, accessibility, daylight, circulation, environmental conditions, and occupant preference. Metaphysical claims are not converted into engineering measurements.
