What is a tension?
A tension is a place where two teachings need to be checked together. They may disagree, repeat each other, or need clearer boundaries.
Coherence audit
The Refutation Engine checks standing teachings against each other. It names possible disagreement, repetition, and unclear boundaries so the body of work can become clearer instead of only larger.
The review first finds teachings that sit near each other. Then it asks a plain question: should we combine them, narrow one, test the difference, or keep both under review?

No. It means the teaching needs review. Trial Court can later weaken it, revise it, retire it, or keep testing it.
A body of teaching becomes more trustworthy when its unfinished questions are visible. We show what still needs review instead of hiding it.
Open questions
These teachings appear to give the same practical guidance. We are checking whether one clear teaching can carry both.
They should stand as one teaching unless review finds a real difference in what they ask a reader to do.
Fold these into one clearer teaching after review, keeping the wording that best helps readers act.
Ask readers to apply both teachings to the same situation. If they choose the same action and cannot name a real difference, combine them.
