SIE.1:3 - Forces
| Force | Tension |
|---|
| Breadth | More sources may enable future reuse, while every added source creates meanings, authority, currentness, and validation obligations. |
| Speed | A quick join can demonstrate access, while early conflation makes later correction expensive and hard to trace. |
| Loss | A useful common view often coarsens detail, while silent loss can reverse a decision or erase incompatibility. |
| Freshness and latency | Query-time access can be current but slow or fragile; copied data can be fast but stale and harder to govern. |
| Authority | Source owners, integrators, and receivers contribute different decisions; visibility or custody does not transfer authority. |
| Assurance | A finite representative test is needed now, while no test establishes universal semantic correctness. |
| Reuse | A broad contract appears reusable, while a small contract is easier to validate and honestly reopen. |
