Local optimization can be real and still be harmful at another declared holon level or declared scope.
Level, layer, scope, scale, abstraction, organization, system, and environment labels can sound precise while naming different project-side entities, relations, scopes, or claim kinds.
Frustration language can be useful because it points to incompatible constraints or fitness contributions, but it can also smuggle a physics, biology, psychology, or global-optimizer ontology into architecture prose.
Measurement is tempting because the residual feels numeric, but a measure before declared-scope and structure-kind recovery can hide the real conflict.
Ethical conflict or mediation may be present, but not every cross-scope residual is an ethical conflict or mediation problem.
Architecture synthesis may be needed, but a small triage output often identifies a narrower move: split scope, add mediator, add interface grammar, change allocation, expose coupling, add evidence scope, accept bounded exception, or return to source.
The pattern is not a prescribed sequence of moves; architecture work is often case-managed through loops, checks, and dead ends.
