Candidate only

Proposed concept boundary: Strong interdependence can transmit disruptions and reduce buffering opportunities.

Open decision

Specify coupling and disturbance propagation; compare modularity and consequence propagation without equating them.

Missing work

  1. Review concept identity and role ownership before authoring a Card.
  2. Author role-local scope, logic and required method, diagnostic, objective or action content for the selected functions.
  3. Record exact inspected sources and transformations, or explicitly review QE editorial synthesis with assertion-level evidence limits.
  4. Obtain editorial acceptance separately from structural validation.

P48-22/O1 · Ontological

World mechanic

When components depend on fast or tightly synchronized interactions with little independent slack, a local disturbance can propagate before isolation or recovery; coupling increases some cascade risks but is not itself proof of system fragility or the only cause of common-mode failure.
