Decision Drop Definition Map: Companion Visual Asset for the ORDERING Framework

This visual asset defines Decision Drop as a condition in which visible authority remains active while causal authority has moved to a deeper failure-bearing layer of the system. It maps the relationship between the visible decision interface, formal authority, causal authority, pressure field, and deeper failure-bearing layer. The figure is part of the Decision Drop Visual System and serves as the formal Figure 1 companion visual for Ordering Concepts Series, No. 02, “Decision Drop: When Visible Authority Remains After Causal Authority Has Moved Deeper.” It should be cited as an individual companion visual asset. It may later be included in a broader Decision Drop closure package under the ORDERING Framework. Suggested citation: Reed, Cornor.
