F.14:3 - Forces

ForceTension to resolve
Parsimony versus real differenceA small vocabulary is useful only if every real governed distinction remains recoverable.
Local expression versus durable reuseMost wording can remain local; public or repeated reuse may justify one durable settlement.
Recognition versus assignmentA good system-role-kind name helps recognition; it does not assign a system or prove Work.
Relations versus a new kindSubstitution, incompatibility, qualification, and bundle relations among system-role kinds may be useful without admitting another local kind.
Status family versus status-name growthTime windows, values, confidence, and presentation labels should not multiply status families.
Discoverability versus naming-object cascadesCards, cells, rows, identifiers, and publications can help retrieval, but none is justified merely because the previous one exists.
