Schema conflict

a situation where two schemas produce contradictory outputs for the same input due to structural incompatibility, requiring a meta-schema for resolution rather than automatic dissonance reduction.

Why This Is a Definition

This definition establishes the precise semantic boundary of 'schema conflict' by identifying its genus (situation involving contradictory outputs), differentia (structural incompatibility requiring resolution), and distinguishing it from automatic dissonance reduction. It emphasizes the need for meta-schema resolution rather than ad hoc conflict resolution.
