[ SLANG ][ SMART HOME ][ MACHINE CULTURE ]

FORCE: Machine CultureUNIVERSE: Machine Judgment CultureCLUSTER: Home Automation Judgment

The binary mode a smart-home system assigns to a household — occupied or empty — that silently governs which automations run, even when the real situation is more ambiguous.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

"It's stuck on Away mode and I'm literally standing right here."

LORE & ORIGIN

Foundational smart-home state concept that most automation logic branches from, made visible as a topic once users started noticing how often the binary gets it wrong.
