RHY.6:3 - Forces
| Force | Practical tension |
| Shared timing and different meanings | Equal positions need not imply equal sound classes, phrase roles or bodily realizations. |
| Compact target and lost information | A useful target abstraction can collapse a distinction another user still needs. |
| Interpreted phrase and local signs | A correspondence may apply to a whole phrase rather than independently to each syllable. |
| Transformation and translation | Changing the target can alter the rhythmic proposal, not merely its notation. |
