Interoperability / Domain-Specific Optimization
Kind: tension
Record: tension:domain-specific-optimization-interoperability
Canonical: Schema
"interoperability" (contracts-core layer) is traded against "Domain-Specific Optimization" (contracts-core layer) — a principle cannot be scope-separated from a quality, metric, or cost it competes with; resolve by measuring "Domain-Specific Optimization" and choosing an explicit operating point.
