Coordination can continue after shared meaning has begun to fail.
People may still use the same terms, attend the same meetings, and execute the same procedures while attaching different operational significance to what they are doing.
This creates the appearance of coherence without a common interpretive state.
As interpretive entropy rises, more energy is required to maintain alignment, correct misunderstandings, and prevent local interpretations from producing incompatible action.
The system may remain connected while no longer sharing the same reality.
