Returning a parameter to within its window after it has drifted outside the performance range but not beyond the existence range.

Repair (noun) means: Returning a parameter to within its window after it has drifted outside the performance range but not beyond the existence range. It emerges from parameter, window, drift, maintenance: parameter.condition changes due to drift.aimless, moving outside the performance.quality bounds but remaining within existence.state; maintenance.upkeep acts over time.dimension to return.movement the parameter into range.spatial within window.range. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 15, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
