A.15.8:2 - Problem

Performance often depends on relations among actual or intended performers, supporting Systems, physical resources, representations, records, services, models, environmental conditions, and state needed for continuation. A perfect run can hide that one dependency is stale, inaccessible, inconsistent, unavailable to a successor, or supported only by the current session.

Umbrella words conceal different objects. “Attention” may mean sensing, selection, monitoring, search, checking, or a holder capability. “Memory” may mean internal state, a record, model state, retrieval, cultural continuation, or a relied-on claim. “Work state” may mix world state, epistemes, carriers, and cues. Treating these words as fields on one composite performer hides the relation that must change and can incorrectly assign System identity, Work, capability, authority, or evidence.

The missing practical move is neither a theory of mind nor a universal resilience procedure. It is to recover the exact Work-dependent configuration, expose the minimum state needed to continue, challenge the weakest decision-changing dependency, and return the observation to its direct owner.
