C.27:3.3 - Rhythm, Coasting, and Reversibility

Observed cadence can remain Dyn1. A rhythm claim becomes Dyn2 only when effort pattern, coordination, recovery, stabilization, or another intervention-sensitive use changes the supported action.

For coasting, ask what continues after effort changes or stops, why it may continue, over which window, what use that reading supports, and what change reopens it. Possible bases include habit, automation, stored work, queue pressure, learned capability, commitment momentum, social norm, physical inertia, or unknown; these are examples, not proof.

Keep coasting and debt distinct. Coasting describes continued movement or stability. Debt or hysteresis describes what remains and how costly reversal or recovery is. A claim may need both. Rework, service demand, quality loss, burnout, hidden queues, risk, or coordination cost can appear after acceleration. Reversibility may be unknown; that bounds use instead of forcing a theory.
