Name the larger situations a moment sits inside, and what each one constrains
Definition
Mechanism
For a moment that matters, such as a conversation, a request or a decision, the enclosing situations are named from nearest to widest: this talk, inside this disagreement, inside this working relationship. Each layer is treated as a Context whose constraints the inner ones inherit, and the constraint each layer places on the moment is stated.
Invariants
- The enclosing situations are named from nearest to widest.
- Each named layer states the constraint it places on the moment.
Risks
Failure modes
Flat reading
the moment is handled as if nothing enclosed it.
Layer inflation
so many layers are named that the moment itself is lost.
