Conditions
- the illuminated body is mechanically free or compliant enough to move or deform under the radiation-pressure force

Related matrix context
This claim does not itself create a matrix cell. The context below belongs to Radiation pressure, the phenomenon it is about.
D = disequilibrium row · C = coupling family column. A cell reads the state of the atlas for that pair.
