ForceTension
Core stabilityThe FPF Core must stay stable enough to supply dependable constraints to downstream frameworks, while domain and local frameworks need faster evolution.
Reuse and source-local meaningDomain and local frameworks should reuse FPF Core distinctions, but they must not silently redefine Core meaning or treat a local label as a universal premise.
Publication pressureReaders need all-in-one carriers, tables of contents, cards, examples, and first-entry material, but those carriers do not by themselves settle architecture.
Relation richnessPattern ecosystems need recommendation, specialization, dependency, publication, preservation, evaluation, and source-use relations, but a single “related patterns” list hides the relation function.
Source and generation pressureSource summaries, relation graphs, and generated candidate sets speed work, but their losses and admissible use must be declared before architecture work relies on them.
Problem-solving primacyFrameworks need vocabulary and ontology, but a DPF is valuable only when those distinctions help a practitioner recognize typical problem situations and choose stronger solution moves.
Evolution pressureFramework editions, dependencies, and names change over time, so compatibility, deprecation, supersession, and refresh conditions must be explicit.
