Unshared Focus

Definition

One Focus capacity is centered, the other under-active. One partner can gather attention steadily while the other's attention remains scattered or difficult to aim. The field has one regulated endpoint and one under-active endpoint; a one-sided joint-attention bid is possible, but whether it is returned is not established by the signature.
