Definitionv1DF-474
Systemic conditions
the structural, environmental, and process-level factors within an organization or personal cognitive infrastructure that make errors likely or probable, rather than individual character traits or temporary circumstances
Why This Is a Definition
This definition establishes 'systemic conditions' as a category of factors, distinguishes it from personal traits and temporary circumstances, and specifies what makes these conditions significant (they make errors likely/probable). It's precise enough to distinguish from individual-level explanations.
