When two legitimate values generate ongoing tension without resolution, design oscillation rhythms rather than forcing a permanent choice.
Why This Is a Principle
This derives from Human values are incommensurable—they cannot be measured on (values are incommensurable) and Values exist in a hierarchical structure with terminal (values exist in hierarchies with terminal and instrumental distinctions). It prescribes a management approach (oscillation) for situations where axioms establish that resolution is structurally impossible. This is actionable guidance that follows from foundational truths about value pluralism.
