ForceTension
First-principles structure EntityOfConcern vs ontology inflationFPF needs a reusable selected-structure EntityOfConcern for organizations that expose relations, applied constraints, invariants, variation classes, preserved arrangement, and lost arrangement, but adding one such EntityOfConcern can accidentally invite many false root kinds.
Useful compression vs structure-use returnStructure makes work easier by compressing cases, but a StructureUseReturnCondition is needed when compression, extraction, coarsening, source-description reuse, base-dependence reuse, grounding reuse, evidence reuse, lens reuse, simulation reuse, or representation reuse hides a distinction needed for action.
Description and view usability vs structure confusionDescriptions and views make structure inspectable, but a useful view can be mistaken for the structure itself.
Mathematical-lens application vs mathematical overreadC.29 lens output is usable within its declared mapping, preserved structure, lost structure, and stop condition; any evidence, causal, assurance, or decision claim uses its own predicate and result.
Architecture dependency vs architecture takeoverArchitecture uses selected structure through C.30; A.22 does not import architecture as its parent or make every structure an architecture.
Plain engineering speech vs Tech recoveryWords such as structure, graph, architecture, module, function, interface, pattern, block, layer, level, tier, stack, expert, cache, router, and gate can remain in Plain prose, but a claim that depends on their precise meaning needs recoverable Tech fields and pattern applications. Use C.30.STRAT when a source label leaves the selected-structure claim ambiguous.
