E.23:3 - Forces
| Force | Tension |
| Improvement ambition vs cost | Exceptional improvement can be valuable while ordinary floor work stays affordable. |
| General adaptive methods vs specialized cycles | Broad loops scale, while specialized cycles can be cheaper when the characteristic space fits. |
| Feedback vs self-confirming retry | Feedback helps only when re-evaluation checks changed quality. |
| Operation hardening vs bureaucracy | Verification, memory, decomposition, and supervision are admitted only when their expected improvement effect justifies cost. |
| Visible improvement vs protected trade-offs | One coordinate can rise while use, source preservation, locality, or ecology worsens. |
| Proposal portfolio vs selector overread | Proposals can guide improvement without becoming selected results or work plans. |
