The standard

The perceptible polarity measures tension by the distance between two poles that hold each other, not by the strength of any single element.

Criteria

Two elements stand recognisably against each other
Neither of the two outweighs the other
The impression carries into the finish
The opposites feel held, not accidental

Distinction

Tension ≠ acidity: acidity is a measurable substance, tension a relationship into which it enters. Tension ≠ balance: balance is a resting equilibrium, whereas perceptible polarity describes an active pull between the poles.
