Is the thermodynamic axis two poles a system can sit on, or a maintenance floor plus a leftover?

Can the maintenance/growth mix move while the sensing mix does not, or the reverse?

Does finite energy force preserve-versus-transform, small-versus- grow, or a glue of both?

Does a lone replicator face four dilemmas, or two?

Are dilemmas 2 and 4 scoped to composed systems, with the thesis still too wide?

Can the thesis be restated as four dilemmas for composed telic systems without a further empirical row?

Can the fifth-dilemma test fail, or only redescribe?

Is the information axis cost, origin-time of the data, or a glue of both?

Is the cheap-old / expensive-live pairing a necessity or a common bundle?

What is a cheap live sensor on this axis: Gnosis, Mythos, or off-axis?

Can two axes be independent coordinates and also not well-posed as separate questions?

Is "independent" a scoring convenience or a claim that the questions can be posed alone?

If two axes are not well-posed alone, is the necessary set four dilemmas or three problems?
