wake-up call · restart

an event that does not correct the model but restarts the reading, leaving the correction to the one it rouses.

Wake-up call (noun) means: an event that does not correct the model but restarts the reading, leaving the correction to the one it rouses. It emerges from event, model, read, start: A single event lands hard enough to show that no readings have been taken; the event itself carries almost no information about the drift, only that there has been some, so reading must resume to find out how much. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 17, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).

ordinarily means: an event that makes you finally pay attention to a problem
