Which one of those 3 it is that is reduced or increased depends on the type of element.

Now thats where the speculation comes in: Improvise reduces the effects that an unstable element has on reducing progress/quality or increasing dura loss.
Nice theory... it's what I originally thought, too. But it's hard to test that if the chaotic elements blow up on the very first synth after using it.
