B.5.MPC.R:3 - Forces
| Force | Tension |
| Local correctness and joint usefulness | A valid result can answer a question different from the receiving physical question. |
| Stable relations and changed unknowns | The same physical relation can serve several questions, but each may require a different computation. |
| Observation and intervention | Obtaining an indication can change the state or conditions whose behavior is being inferred. |
| Economical repair and unresolved alternatives | A short correction can suffice; an ambiguous discrepancy may need a discriminating observation or a conditional result. |
| Useful abstraction and realizable operation | Mathematical possibilities can exceed the preparation, timing or range of the available apparatus. |
