MATH.7:3 - Forces

ForceTension
Familiar carrier and chosen structureThe same set can carry several operations with different identities and laws.
Reversible elements and preserved workRecovering elements supplies the means to transport operations; it does not choose which operations matter.
One convenient representation and several quantitiesA change can simplify one calculation while complicating another.
Reusable proof and computing costTransport can reuse an algebraic argument, while repeated encoding and decoding can make a calculation expensive.
