Statelessness / State Access Latency
Kind: tension
Record: tension:state-access-latency-statelessness
Canonical: Schema
"statelessness" (performance-core layer) is traded against "State Access Latency" (performance-core layer) — a principle cannot be scope-separated from a quality, metric, or cost it competes with; resolve by measuring "State Access Latency" and choosing an explicit operating point.
