F.1:3 - Forces

ForceTension
Relevance vs finitenessThe cut must expose answer-changing rivals and limits while remaining small enough to inspect together.
Local fidelity vs cross-source useEach source keeps its own claims and meanings while later work may compare them.
Recency vs continuityNew editions matter, but only changed relied premises should reopen the result.
Efficient search vs human judgmentSearch aids may prioritize candidates but cannot decide their role in the answer.
Compact memory vs source analysisA short result should keep the decision recoverable without becoming a second literature review.
Wider discovery vs question fidelityQuery variants may omit a word to reach more material, while the original conditions still govern what can answer the question.
Available access vs coverageA cheap route may reach enough material; a consequential blind spot may justify another route or an honest access gap.
