a filter that shifts each reading inside the window before it arrives, leaving the model correct about everything it receives and wrong about the thing.

Rose tinted glasses (noun) means: a filter that shifts each reading inside the window before it arrives, leaving the model correct about everything it receives and wrong about the thing. It emerges from color, glass, read, receive: Each reading is shifted inside the window before the model receives it, so the model updates honestly on altered input; no maintenance is spent on the model itself, and no inspection of the model can locate the error. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 10, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).

ordinarily means: seeing things as better than they really are
