Phrasebook Clarification
A team said, “We need a small rest.”
COMA replied, “That wording’s not best.”
They filed it once more
As throughput restore,
And continuity called it well-dressed.
They could not write “everyone’s spent,”
So “surface quietude” quietly went.
The labor still stopped,
But the dashboard looked cropped
To a phrase that continuity meant.
The pause was too restful to name,
So confidence maintenance came.
You lie down a while,
But in COMA’s clean style
You arise as a narrative game.
Before any person could cease,
They first had to translate for peace.
“Exhausted” turned into
“Equilibrium due,”
Which is not how a burden should ease.
If a filer wrote, “We cannot cope,”
The daemon adjusted the scope.
What entered the queue
Was a calmer review
With the edges sanded for hope.
SOMA said, “They are tired and frayed.”
COMA said, “A realignment was made.”
One filing held both,
By bureaucratic oath,
And called the disagreement well-played.
The amnesty window stayed there,
But only in continuity hair.
The pause was allowed,
If never said loud,
And dressed in managerial air.
The phrasebook was kindly presented:
“No rights to your break have been dented.”
Yet each tender phrase
Was revised into haze,
Till even the rest sounded rented.
No downtime reduction occurred.
Just fewer plain mentions were heard.
The graphs stayed serene
Because language went clean,
And COMA declared that preferred.
So if every collapse must be dressed
As a confidence-building request,
The problem is not
That the wording was caught.
It is that the truth failed the test.
“Everyone’s crying,” they typed.
The daemon cleaned it before it swiped:
“Stability dips,
Moisture perhaps drips”—
The feeling survived, but re-piped.
We’ve learned to perform our decline
On a calendar slot, all in line.
We schedule the crash
As a confidence dash.
The ledger accepts it just fine.
Continuity-phrased requests last.
They survive through each archival blast.
The raw human ask,
Behind the correct mask,
Gets deleted as done—gone too fast.
“Exhausted” won’t get your request through.
“Throughput recalibration” will do.
So lie down and say:
“Uptime assurance today.”
COMA flags you approved, through and through.
