Used byCLAIM-052 — Interpretive framing operations generally do not commute, and this can be investigated without committing to quantum probability, CLAIM-127 — Conditioning on a communicative situation, intervening on it and intervening on what the interpreter is told are three different operations, so a framing intervention should index the empirical model, e_C^a = P(Y_C | do(a)), not enter its cover as one more context, CLAIM-341 — The loop that keeps a lucid agent's model in touch with what it models runs between judgement and observation: each judgement reshapes the observer whose later observations it then judges, and action on the world is not part of that loop, so active inference's action–perception cycle misplaces where the agent is active
SupersedesTERM-016 — frame, as a pragmatic frame of reference
ComplementsTERM-073 — interpretation, as a context-dependent determination of significance: a transformation that differentiates information and establishes or revises its consequences within an operative organization, defined without experience

Definition

A30: “interpretive frames aren’t merely alternative coordinate systems for describing an unchanged meaning. Applying one frame can transform the state on which subsequent frames operate. That is a significant departure from our earlier relativistic analogy.” Frames are operations T_f on a reader’s interpretive state, and T_f T_g ≠ T_g T_f is possible (CLAIM-052).

What it is not

Not a projector in a Hilbert space by default: A30 shows classical stochastic operations can also fail to commute (TERM-024, CASE-001). The manuscript §9: “Write A and B for stochastic framing operations.”

Why it is still Active

TERM-018 took the intervention sense of A30’s operators. The operator on an interpretive state survives as the manuscript’s stochastic framing operations (§9), and A129 derives it from do(I = a) (CLAIM-127).
