C.25:3 - Forces

ForceTension
Simplicity vs category hygieneAuthors want one convenient quality label; the framework must still keep CHR, USM, mechanism, status values, and status-use relations distinct.
Comparability vs local applicabilityMeasures should compare legally across contexts, while scope remains context-local and set-valued.
