A state of mutual or equal tension; the condition of being stretched or pulled with equal force from multiple directions.
From co- (together) plus tension, from Latin tensio (a stretching). This philosophical or physical term describes balanced opposing forces.
In physics and philosophy, cointension is what happens when equal forces pull from different directions—it's like a tug-of-war where both sides pull with exactly the same strength.
