maintenance work below the drift rate, with the wall still distant.

Neglect (noun) means: maintenance work below the drift rate, with the wall still distant. It emerges from maintenance, drift, wall, parameter: The components combine to describe sustained effort that fails to keep pace with aimless decline, where the threshold has not yet been reached. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 15, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
