Normalization is ubiquitous in economics, and a growing literature shows that ``normalizations'' can matter for interpretation, counterfactual analysis, misspecification, and inference. This paper provides a general framework for these issues, based on the formalized notion of modeling equivalence that partitions the space of unknowns into equivalence classes, and defines normalization as a WLOG selection of one representative from each class. A counterfactual parameter is normalization-free if and only if it is constant on equivalence classes; otherwise any point identification is created by the normalization rather than by the model. Applications to discrete choice, demand estimation, and network formation illustrate the insights made explicit through this criterion. We then study two further sources of fragility: an extension trilemma establishes that fidelity, invariance, and regularity cannot simultaneously hold at a boundary singularity, while a normalization can itself introduce a coordinate singularity that distorts the topological and metric structures of the parameter space, with consequences for estimation and inference.
