Scope collision
the structural inevitability that occurs when two cognitive agents operate simultaneously, their scopes intersect, and they issue incompatible instructions for the same situation
Why This Is a Definition
This definition establishes scope collision as a precise structural condition requiring three specific elements (simultaneous operation, intersecting scopes, incompatible instructions) that distinguishes it from mere conflict or confusion. It identifies the mechanism rather than just describing the symptom, making it a true definition that can be used to diagnose and solve problems.
