  "mechanism": "Repetition keeps reproducing a recognisable practice while observations, circumstances or participants' responses have less influence on how it proceeds. The practice can still produce activity, records or small changes while losing the input-sensitive relation that made its repetitions responsive. Mere repetition is not an instance: a practice fixed from the outset never had the responsiveness to lose, and a considered decision that nothing needs to change is still a response.",

    "Stability read as hollowness: a practice that keeps returning the same result because nothing relevant changed is taken to have stopped responding.",
    "Variation read as responsiveness: small changes, such as a changing counter, are taken to show that the practice still responds.",
    "Form judged alone: the practice is judged by its appearance without specifying which input-response relation is meant."
