NSTD.3:3 - Forces

ForceTension
Event readability vs non-event structuresReaders follow events easily, but not every source relation is an event.
Causal wording vs causal supportA causal explanation needs grounds for the particular cause; “because” can also introduce a reason, proof step or fictional motive.
Mechanism clarity vs uncertaintyA good mechanism story can hide unknown or contested source relations.
Reconstruction vs entertainmentThe declared use may require reconstruction, not only engagement.
