SYSE.20:3 - Forces

The recurring tensions are:

• Useful overlap shortens feedback, while stale configuration and provisional evidence can propagate through it.
• Required order protects identity, safety, and authority, while total serialization delays learning.
• Several Methods can be enacted together, while co-use does not by itself compose one larger Method.
• Shared models can improve correspondence, while every model preserves some distinctions and loses others.
• Provider services can reduce local effort, while availability, compatibility, and maintenance remain project concerns when the engineering result depends on them.
• A project can choose a new arrangement, while cultural continuation depends on later recognition, enactment, selection, and retention.
• More views can reveal a hidden conflict, while views that cannot change the decision add reading and maintenance cost.
