NSTD.3:3 - Forces
| Force | Tension |
| Event readability vs non-event structures | Readers follow events easily, but not every source relation is an event. |
| Causal wording vs causal support | A causal explanation needs grounds for the particular cause; “because” can also introduce a reason, proof step or fictional motive. |
| Mechanism clarity vs uncertainty | A good mechanism story can hide unknown or contested source relations. |
| Reconstruction vs entertainment | The declared use may require reconstruction, not only engagement. |
