NOT.5:3 - Forces

ForceWhat must be reconciled
Receiving operation and source detailA simpler target can make one operation easier while removing distinctions needed by another.
Meaning and expression formThe same consequence can survive different layouts or spellings; some work also needs those forms retained.
Recovery and retained informationKeeping extra source information enables a return but adds storage, access and maintenance work.
Forward translation and backward changeA forward rule can determine the view without determining which source update the user intended.
Composition and accumulated lossA locally usable conversion can remove information that a later conversion needs.
