STATE
A momentary spin — one node's orientation in this instant. Temporary. Context-dependent. Can flip.
TRAIT
A persistent domain — a cluster of aligned nodes that maintain their pattern across time. Stable but not fixed.
FIELD
The temperature condition — kindness as field. Neither a state nor a trait. The condition that makes states and traits possible.

Adjust the field temperature. Watch the domains. Then ask: what is the temperature of the information environment you spend most of your time in?

◈ OSTROM SCORE 0
Frozen Order (low T): all spins align — one domain, brittle, no diversity. The authoritarian classroom. The closed information ecosystem.
Critical Temperature: domains of all sizes coexist. A single flip can cascade. This is the kindness field functioning. The avalanche of kindness becomes possible.
Chaotic Disorder (high T): spins flip randomly, no coherent pattern. Trauma without regulation. Information noise without signal.
The values vector (Ostrom principles active) determines whether aligned domains point toward care or extraction.
