when the parameter that guides each party's model has been brought into one window, placing both models on the same side of the wall and eliminating any drift between them

On the same page (adjective) means: when the parameter that guides each party's model has been brought into one window, placing both models on the same side of the wall and eliminating any drift between them. It emerges from window, wall, parameter, drift: maintenance works to bring the parameters of the parties into one window, putting their models on the same side of the wall and eliminating drift. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 15, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
