# Time Complexity / Space Complexity

> "time-complexity" (performance-core layer) is traded against "Space Complexity" (performance-core layer) — a principle cannot be scope-separated from a quality, metric, or cost it competes with; resolve by measuring "Space Complexity" and choosing an explicit operating point.
