Extended note

Capture is a strict and bounded conclusion. It requires more than error or bias: the frame must have acquired self-protective or totalising effect that breaks traceability, role boundaries, or corrigibility.

Limitations

Not the same as

  • a single error
  • strong identity
  • ordinary institutional inertia
