E.14:3 - Forces

  1. Cognitive economy vs. semantic precision. Managers and engineers must navigate with a handful of names and relations; assurance authors must still check that each name has one intended model value, each relation claim has the required world-side basis, and identity conditions are explicit.

  2. Speed of change vs. guarantees. The Working-Model must accommodate revision; support must be updated or its limits exposed before a use that depends on it.

  3. Parsimony vs. expressivity. The Working‑Model should not proliferate relation types or ad‑hoc categories; fine‑grained distinctions live in the Assurance layers and are shown only when they materially change a decision.

  4. Downward grounding vs. upward contamination. Present the readable claim before its needed Mapping, Logical, Constructive, or Empirical support. Assurance notation and record structure do not dictate the Working-Model’s wording or layout. If support defeats or narrows the claim, revise that claim under its direct governing rule and make the change visible.

  5. Trans‑disciplinary unification vs. local dialects. The Working‑Model must reconcile different disciplines’ habits without erasing them; Mapping captures dialects, while the Working‑Model exposes a single usable choice.

  6. Auditability vs. readability. Any Working-Model statement can be audited on request under the pattern that defines or tests its direct claim and any assurance profile selected for the current use; day-to-day views hide the scaffolding unless summoned.
