Vector Search / Explainability/Recall

Kind: tension

Record: tension:explainability-recall-vector-search

Canonical: Schema

"vector-search" (correctness-core layer) is traded against "Explainability/Recall" (correctness-core layer) — a principle cannot be scope-separated from a quality, metric, or cost it competes with; resolve by measuring "Explainability/Recall" and choosing an explicit operating point.

Listed in Tensions, after Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) / Retrieval Quality/Latency and before Knowledge Graphs / Curation Cost.
