C.36.RP:3 - Forces
| Force | Working tension |
|---|
| Continuity and renewal | Existing methods support current work; changed situations and discoveries can justify replacing them. |
| Distributed capability | Different contributors can perform different operations, while each receiving contribution must remain usable. |
| Available results and transferable methods | A finished answer is cheap to retain; later adaptation can depend on constructions and explanations absent from that answer. |
| Present use and future possibilities | A known use can direct retention, while a promising method can deserve exploration before its later destination is clear. |
| Acquisition and effort | Learning, access, tool provision and redistribution can answer different gaps at different costs. |
