Reality tends to force tradeoffs between seemingly conflicting goals, such as flexibility and maintainability against size and complexity.

A pearl facilitates these tradeoffs by documenting a well​working approach to fulfill a desire or wish that occurs repeatedly in a given context.

Applying a pearl in a given context results in a new, changed context that, in turn, solicits new pearls to make it more whole.
