| Action and uncertainty | A project needs a next move while several futures remain serious. |
| Domain detail and overfitting | Performer, partner, scene, rhythm, body, instrument, platform, and teaching detail can change the forecast; one local case must not become a universal law. |
| Structural regularity and mechanism | A useful representation can expose a regularity without explaining how practice changes. |
| Individual change and population change | Retrieval, learning, preference, or reproduction by one Agent can contribute to but does not establish a scene trajectory. |
| Deliberate development and distributed culture | A team can change a school, event, tool, or publication; wider recognition and retention remain distributed. |
| Prediction and reflexivity | Publishing or teaching a forecast can change the practice being forecast, but not every forecast has a material effect. |
| Informative probes and participant burden | Better discrimination can require performers, partners, teachers, audiences, venues, or communities whose time, consent, and risk matter. |
| Open alternatives and usable decisions | Drift and no-attractor cases must remain possible without turning the result into an endless list. |
