# Causal Dependency / Graph Complexity

> "causal-dependency" (causality-core layer) is traded against "Graph Complexity" (causality-core layer) — a principle cannot be scope-separated from a quality, metric, or cost it competes with; resolve by measuring "Graph Complexity" and choosing an explicit operating point.
