RHY.Preface:3 - Forces - Preserve the relation at an affordable cost

RequirementChoice it creates
A manageable representation and a usable performanceAn onset list makes some comparisons easy; duration, movement or another reference must remain available when the operation depends on it.
A clear articulation and a continuing contributionMaking an accent stronger can interrupt the sound, movement or contact which the rest of the performance needs.
A convenient timing measure and the participant’s taskThe detected attack, felt arrival and partner-readable cue can call for different corrections.
Practicable exercise and the intended wholeRemoving a difficult constituent can permit practice while also removing the relation that had to be learned.
A trustworthy conclusion and limited timeAn existing observation can settle the next choice. A stronger transfer, retention or population claim may require different evidence.
Shared cultural access and distinctive practiceAn easily copied carrier can erase a distinction or embodied technique that makes the practice useful.

Use these tensions to choose an intervention. They do not require maximizing every property or collecting every kind of evidence.
