MDPE.14:7 - Consequences
Positive consequences:
- local optimization is checked against the wider performance and practice relations that matter now;
- conflicts supported by named relations and strong enough to change the bounded decision stay visible across distinct holonic positions, scales, simultaneous Work, slower constraints, and representation uses;
- practitioners receive a bounded decision;
- split-use variants can preserve valuable differences when one compromise would damage both uses;
- representation and metric losses become engineering inputs; and
- artistic, bodily, technical, event, platform, and cultural concerns can be coordinated without absorbing their direct Methods.
Costs and limits:
- relation recovery can show that the case needs only ordinary comparison;
- representative trials may require performers, partners, venues, instruments, robots, audiences, judges, or teachers;
- later observations can overturn the current decision;
- some tensions should remain rather than be solved; and
- a bounded project cannot control distributed cultural evolution.
