E.21:3 - Forces
| Force | Tension |
|---|
| Comparability vs false precision | Pattern versions must be comparable, but ordinal qualities cannot be averaged. |
| Completeness vs affordability | Every coordinate is evaluated; rationale and evidence can stay compact. |
| Maturity vs length | A short pattern is mature only when selected mature-pattern ingredients are present in the body or neighboring pattern governing the claims. |
| Ontology vs usability | Names and kinds must be precise enough for the governed use without burying the first user-facing action. |
| Semio precision vs semio-bias | Episteme and publication distinctions matter, but non-semio patterns still lead with their own EntityOfConcern. |
| Open-ended improvement vs stop | Improvement can continue forever, while one version needs a scoped stop condition. |
