A.16.2:3 - Forces
| Force | Tension |
| Reversibility vs trust | Allow backoff without making the trajectory discipline look arbitrary. |
| Explicit retreat vs clutter | Name retreat and retirement without drowning the model in bookkeeping. |
| Witness retention vs honest revision | Keep what remains valid while explicitly discarding what no longer holds. |
| Framing revision vs repair-pattern boundary | Allow route-specification or framing-scaffold revision without letting A.16.2 swallow slot-explicit epistemic precision repair from governing patterns. |
