With you. In the context of this discussion, what scale of fictional situation are we talking about? To use Dogs as an example, there's the shortest term, "throw a punch, pull a knife, pull a gun," scale of escaltion. (Escaltion of conflict?) But there's also a much larger scale of escalation that goes on from town to town in which you try and make the necessary judgements more demanding. (Escalation of premise?)
There's probably plenty of in between scales as well in which escalation is taking place. I just wanted to note that both your 1) and 2) apply on either extreme of the spectrum, and get you to clarify what scope of escalation you think is relevant here. (Of course, all of it is a valid answer.)
