MATH.17:3 - Forces
| Force | Tension |
| Individual applicability and composition | Two allowable operations can have a composite that violates the condition used to select them. |
| Useful abstraction and needed distinctions | Functions expose input-output behavior; questions about construction steps or cost need a representation retaining those distinctions. |
| Changing rules and retaining consequences | A higher-order operation may preserve some laws, replace others, or require a narrower domain. |
| Uniform construction and branch-specific structure | One construction can work across many sets, while continuity, differentiability or other additional requirements need their own arguments. |
