E.4.CM:4.8.3 - Forces

Several forces remain in tension: source fidelity and a usable synthesis; reusable knowledge and situation-specific judgment; enough preserved context and affordable reading; local repair and hidden cross-pattern dependence. The construction keeps serious alternatives visible. A direct description or small synthesis note may be cheaper. A stable source-processing sequence may be appropriate. Neither is excluded by the ability to unfold use under changing conditions.
