G.6:3 - Forces
| Force | Tension this pattern resolves |
|---|
| Compact citation versus the represented facts’ governing rules | One path is easy to cite, but each represented fact and relation must remain with its exact governor. |
| Graph readability versus ontic force | Nodes and edges make a chain legible; their presence cannot make any represented relation obtain. |
| Result continuity versus result collapse | A path may connect measurement, evaluation, aggregation, and decision while preserving every local result and result episteme. |
| Reusable declaration versus performed occurrence | Methods, descriptions, policies, and clauses may be cited, but dated work and actual bindings remain separate. |
| Cross-context reuse versus hidden loss | Bridges, editions, time windows, source order, and currentness remain visible at the path slice that depends on them. |
| Refresh locality versus stale reliance | Stable addresses let one changed object or direct relation reopen only the affected path or slice. |
