FORCE: Machine CultureUNIVERSE: AI CultureCLUSTER: llm_usage

The moment in a conversation with an AI system where the topic pivots hard enough that the model's earlier context stops being useful, sometimes causing it to lose the thread.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

"Bad prompt context switch there, it kept trying to apply the old topic's rules to the completely new question."

LORE & ORIGIN

Borrows 'context switch' directly from operating-systems terminology, applied to the cost of an LLM abruptly changing conversational topic.
