C.28.CM:3 - Forces
| Force | Consequence for construction |
|---|
| A useful first result may be qualitative. | Add equations or probability laws when the needed consequence requires them. |
| Subject knowledge constrains mechanisms, while the first account may be incomplete. | Keep the basis for a relation and a serious alternative recoverable. |
| More variables can expose a missed influence or make construction unaffordable. | Add a distinction when its omission can change the answer. |
| Different models can fit the available observations. | Preserve the resulting uncertainty instead of selecting a graph for its appearance. |
| An action can help before its complete explanation is known. | Return the supported conditional result and let the receiving decision judge whether further inquiry is worthwhile. |
