Dataflow Architecture / State Coordination
Kind: tension
Record: tension:dataflow-architecture-state-coordination
Canonical: Schema
"dataflow-architecture" (execution-core layer) is traded against "State Coordination" (execution-core layer) — a principle cannot be scope-separated from a quality, metric, or cost it competes with; resolve by measuring "State Coordination" and choosing an explicit operating point.
