MATH.12:3 - Forces

ForceTension
Existence and obtaining an answerExistence may settle the mathematical question; a subsequent calculation can require the witness itself.
Concise proof and visible dependenciesAn omitted intermediate value saves exposition but can prevent reconstruction of the operation.
General statement and available inputAn argument for each input must retain the information on which its witness depends.
Mathematical correctness and executionThe proof’s logic and a program’s evaluation rules need a correspondence for the claimed computational use.
Equal outputs and affordable useTwo extracted expressions can return the same result while repeating different amounts of work.
Reusable proof and changed premisesA local assumption change can alter a branch, an output type or the computation that uses it.
