# vulnerability (exposed)

giving others the window the self-model actually holds rather than the one it reports, so the wall becomes shared and the model can be edited from outside.

## Emergence
**Emerges from:** [give](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-give.transfer), [others](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-others.distinct-entities), [window](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-window.range), [self-model](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-self-model.reflexive), [self](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-self.personal), [model](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-model.representation), [actually](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-actually.real), [hold](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-hold.physical), [report](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-report.information), [wall](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-wall.range-end), [become](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-become.change), [share](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-share.distribution), [edit](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-edit.process), [outside](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-outside.spatial), [rather](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-rather.comparative)

**Through:** The system hands others its actual window in place of the maintained public one, which puts its wall within their reach, and in exchange the self-model gains an editor positioned outside its own blind regions.

**Novel properties:**
- externally editable self-model
- shared wall exposure
- correction over protection

## Examples
- A founder tells the board the real runway instead of the pitch number, and the board can finally help. *(business)*
- Publishing a postmortem with the real timeline invites corrections that no polished status page ever receives. *(engineering)*
- Saying that you do not know how to do a task in code review is the move that gets the missing knowledge transferred. *(workplace)*
