D.4:1.1 - Forces

ForceTension
Described conflict vs. premature closureA conflict description makes action discussable, but does not by itself decide compromise, refusal, or permission.
Evidence demand vs. decision pressureWork may need a decision, while the ethical claim still needs stronger evidence, causal analysis, assurance, or architecture return.
Mediation vs. universal authorityD.4 can guide one bounded use of a described conflict, but cannot become a general decision theory.
Residual acceptance vs. hidden harmProceeding under residual harm can be admissible only when residuals, the admitted Systems involved, prospective plans or assignment requirements, direct responsibility relations or exact missing governors, and return conditions are explicit. When the account asserts performed work, identify that occurrence and its performer; add assignment attribution when that claim is made.
Mathematical allocation vs. ethical decisionA formula or optimization can inform a decision, but it is not the ethical decision by itself.
