MDPE.6:2 - Forces
| Tension | What must remain visible |
| recognizability ↔ function | Familiar notes, steps, labels, or shapes help coordination; preserving only them can destroy timing, contact, articulation, or use. |
| source continuity ↔ receiving fit | Source constraints carry knowledge; the new body, instrument, medium, or participant group can make literal reuse impossible. |
| repair ↔ branching | Repair reduces maintenance burden; a distinct branch can preserve valuable alternatives and body- or medium-specific relations. |
| evidence ↔ decision cost | One more rehearsal or comparison may change the choice; indefinite probing delays useful Work without changing the survivor. |
| technical feasibility ↔ permission and value | A result can be playable or physically possible while still lacking consent, authority, safety, or value for the receiving use. |
| local choice ↔ cultural claim | A project can choose a receiving variant now; transmission, recognition, style identity, and continuation remain later questions. |
