Definitionv1DF-730
Boundary flexibility
the capacity to adjust boundaries in response to genuine context-specific demands while maintaining the underlying value or function of the boundary, as opposed to rigid enforcement or reactive capitulation
Why This Is a Definition
This definition precisely establishes the semantic boundary of 'boundary flexibility' by identifying what it is (adjusting boundaries in response to context), what it is not (rigid enforcement or capitulation), and what it preserves (the underlying value/function). It distinguishes flexibility from both extremes and provides clear differentiating criteria.
