MATH.6:3 - Forces

ForceTension
Small examples and the stated domainA small construction is easier to understand, but the required failure may need a larger or infinite carrier.
Freedom to construct and retained assumptionsChanging a relation or operation can expose the failure while also destroying a premise.
Local witness and quantified failureOne input defeats a universal claim; defeating an existence claim can require a reason covering every candidate.
Criticism and continuationRefutation removes one route to a result; its mathematical structure can suggest a different useful route.
