Dependency Inversion Principle (DIP) / Runtime Indirection
Kind: tension
Record: tension:dependency-inversion-principle-dip-runtime-indirection
Canonical: Schema
"dependency-inversion" (structural-core layer) is traded against "Runtime Indirection" (structural-core layer) — a principle cannot be scope-separated from a quality, metric, or cost it competes with; resolve by measuring "Runtime Indirection" and choosing an explicit operating point.
