Context Is Not Comprehension

Restricted version. Contains a four-step diagnostic protocol for identifying the context/comprehension conflation in a deployed system. Step 1 maps the context loading architecture. Step 2 is a decision gate eliminating three adjacent failure classes (governance failure, model capability failure, bad metric) before structural diagnosis proceeds. Step 3 identifies the absent mechanism — formulated as a specific missing information type, not a capability gap. Step 4 classifies the path from four documented variants, each requiring a different intervention direction. Steps are sequentially dependent. The open version of this record (same DOI) contains the theoretical framework and empirical documentation without the procedural layer.
