-A ``++static++`` field that is neither constant nor read-only is not thread-safe. Correctly accessing these fields from different threads needs synchronization with ``++lock++``s. Improper synchronization may lead to unexpected results, thus publicly visible static fields are best suited for storing non-changing data shared by many consumers. To enforce this intent, these fields should be marked ``++readonly++`` or converted to constants.
+Non-private `static` fields that are neither `const` nor `readonly` can lead to errors and unpredictable behavior.
+
+This can happen because:
+* Any object can modify these fields and alter the global state. This makes the code more difficult to read, debug and test.
+* Correctly accessing these fields from different threads needs synchronization with `lock`. Improper synchronization may lead to unexpected results.
+
+Publicly visible static fields should only be used to store shared data that does not change.
+To enforce this intent, these fields should be marked `readonly` or converted to `const`.
