MDPE.18:2 - Forces

TensionWhat must remain visible
actionability ↔ completenessThe practitioner needs evidence soon enough to act; the historical record may never become complete.
visible record ↔ embodied practiceDurable media are easier to inspect; tacit, bodily, partner, informal, private, and marginal Work is under-recorded.
attribution ↔ distributed changeNamed creators and teachers matter; later recognition, selection, transmission, and continuation involve other Agents and populations.
one lineage ↔ several trait historiesOne tree is easy to tell; material, technique, event form, terminology, and teaching can have different relations.
official visibility ↔ actual practiceStandards, universities, theatres, platforms, and archives leave records; everyday commercial, social, peer, and informal practice can be more prevalent with weaker documentation.
source criticism ↔ source-community rightsAccess and comparison improve evidence; consent, attribution, privacy, return, and future-use obligations constrain the inquiry.
precision ↔ readable useClaims need clear kinds and limits, expressed in language that a reader new to the case can understand.
