SIE.6:3 - Forces
| Force | Tension |
|---|
| Simplicity | Receivers prefer one view, while a truthful answer may need several qualified rows or an explicit conflict. |
| Authority | Some sources are authoritative for bounded claims, while no source may own the whole receiving question. |
| Time | Newer claims may supersede older ones, while differing intervals, effectivity, or observation times can make them jointly informative. |
| Identity | Composition needs a subject relation, while an unresolved identity premise must stop only the dependent branch. |
| Uncertainty | Quantification can support comparison, while unlike confidence, status, or evidence forms should not be normalized without warrant. |
| Performance | Precomputed canonical values are convenient, while preserving source-qualified alternatives and derivation costs storage and query work. |
