Autonomy / Global Consistency
Kind: tension
Record: tension:autonomy-global-consistency
Canonical: Schema
"autonomy" (structural-core layer) is traded against "Global Consistency" (execution-core layer) — a principle cannot be scope-separated from a quality, metric, or cost it competes with; resolve by measuring "Global Consistency" and choosing an explicit operating point.
Listed in Tensions, after Autonomy / Standardization and before Interface Segregation Principle (ISP) / Interface Proliferation.
