STATE MEMORY ACROSS MODES
What was set in one state is still set in the next, meaning something else.
01 DEFINITION
Condition in which values entered under one way of working are carried into another that reads them differently, so a setting nobody changed becomes a setting nobody chose.
02 CONDITIONS
UNCERTAINTY
UNRECORDED
Which values came from where is not held with the values.
TIME PRESSURE
LOW
Nothing is urgent; the carried value simply governs until someone notices.
ERROR ASYMMETRY
DEFERRED
A carried setting costs nothing until the situation it now governs arrives.
OPERATOR STATE
DEDICATED
The person is setting up and takes what is already there as what they set.
03 WHERE IT APPEARS
MEDICALParameters set for one therapy persist into another that reads the same numbers differently.
MANUFACTURINGValues entered for one product carry into the next run where they mean other tolerances.
ENERGYLimits configured for one operating regime remain in force under another.
LOGISTICSRules set for one season stay applied to a period they were not written for.
FINANCEThresholds set under one market condition persist into a different one unchanged.
AI EXP.Preferences given in one context are applied in another where they imply something else.
04 WHERE THIS IS SURFACING
This surfaces wherever one configuration serves several ways of working. The values survive the transition and their meaning does not.
What stays unresolved is which values belong to the work and which to the state — carrying everything forward preserves the effort and moves the meanings, and carrying nothing makes every change of state a fresh setup.
