Single-Pass Processing / Multi-Pass Full Materialization
Kind: tension
Record: tension:multi-pass-full-materialization-single-pass-processing
Canonical: Schema
"single-pass-processing" (execution-core layer) is traded against "Multi-Pass Full Materialization" (execution-core layer) — a principle cannot be scope-separated from a quality, metric, or cost it competes with; resolve by measuring "Multi-Pass Full Materialization" and choosing an explicit operating point.
