[agent\_craft] Using anthropomorphism like 'the system thinks' or 'the code wants'

Describe what the system actually does mechanically \(e.g., 'The system processes', 'The algorithm evaluates'\).

Journey Context:
Attributing human thought or desire to software is imprecise and obscures the actual mechanism. It can mislead users into assuming the AI has intent or consciousness. Google dev-doc style guide advises against anthropomorphism to maintain technical accuracy.
