OCE.7:10 - Rationale

Mirroring is useful as a contingent hypothesis about coordination and cognitive burden. Current reviews and cases also show co-evolution, changing causal direction, value- and regulation-sensitive exceptions, and situations where deliberate non-correspondence supports search or contribution. A four-form comparison turns that evidence into constructive alternatives instead of a slogan.

Separate decisions preserve accountability and distinguish selected changes from realized ones. An organization change can be selected while product realization is still future, or a product architecture can change while the organization remains stable. Their correspondence matters only through named relations and consequences.
