# Pure Functions / Stateful Operations

> "pure-functions" (computation-core layer) is traded against "Stateful Operations" (computation-core layer) — a principle cannot be scope-separated from a quality, metric, or cost it competes with; resolve by measuring "Stateful Operations" and choosing an explicit operating point.
