F.19:3 - Forces
| Force | Tension |
|---|
| Plain wording vs technical meaning | Shorter prose helps only if object kinds, relations, uses, claim boundaries, and action-changing detail survive. |
| Local truth vs useful contribution | A clause can be true and type-compatible while answering no live question and displacing the positive path. |
| Explicitness vs ordinary recovery | Missing operands and referents can make a puzzle, but repeating every complement or formal identity makes ordinary prose harder to think with. |
| Guarding vs invented foils | A grounded warning or non-use boundary can prevent harm; an imaginable but unsupported mistake creates noise and teaches defensive style. |
| Enumeration vs governing message | Lists can encode required membership or alternatives; accumulation can also replace the proposition or postpone the action. |
| Portability vs local language needs | Predicate, participant, kind, referent, contribution, and list questions travel across languages; morphology and idiom remain local. |
| Reviewability vs bureaucracy | A disputed or high-risk rewrite may need comparison evidence; ordinary correction should produce repaired text, not a ledger. |
