Verification / Cost
Kind: tension
Record: tension:cost-verification
Canonical: Schema
"verification" (computation-core layer) is traded against "Cost" (structural-core layer) — a principle cannot be scope-separated from a quality, metric, or cost it competes with; resolve by measuring "Cost" and choosing an explicit operating point.
