Force	Tension
Accepted change vs predecessor continuity	The candidate must realize new decisions without treating all other predecessor content as disposable.
Complete traversal vs affordable use	Every predecessor content or selected structure required for the declared use needs an outcome, but ordinary retained content should not create a large positive ledger.
Several forms vs truthful comparison	The same edition may have several forms, yet shared use or shared carriers do not make those forms one eligible comparison pair.
Text convenience vs structural meaning	Line and span diffs are cheap for comparable text; diagrams, cards, and retrieval forms need their own content or selected-structure inventories.
Form evolution vs content disposition	A form can be retired, split, or merged without authorizing the retirement of what it expressed.
Reuse vs local specificity	FPF, DPF, and LPF publications share the integration problem, while an applicable FPF pattern still defines or constrains what matters for each form and use.
Strong assurance vs bounded result	The comparison can expose loss and support later reliance; later admission, publication, release, or assurance decisions use their own methods.
