Definition

Regime attunement is RB3’s cultivated capacity to notice what a constraint architecture selects for before its effects harden into common sense. It extends situated moral sensitivity beyond an immediate encounter to the regime that organized it. The proposal distinguishes this learned discernment from instinct, detached calculation, infallible intuition or the mere formal availability of correction.

Explanation

Enactive ethics supplies the situated and participatory methodological hinge, while the author explicitly extends the analysis toward institutional conditions. The entry preserves that division of intellectual labor rather than attributing the complete contemporary regime framework unchanged to Simondon or to one enactive predecessor.

Attunement concerns salience: risks, affordances, power differences and emerging thresholds can matter before an agent fully articulates a rule. It is learned and transindividual, so it is not an excuse for arbitrary personal conviction or a claim that ethical perception always succeeds without further examination.

Corrigibility makes revision possible after a wrong is shown; concern affects whether the wrong is noticed and which correction is taken. The regime must supply both when a model has borrowed weightings. Thus additional exit mechanisms alone do not establish adequate attunement or guarantee that other people’s stakes influence action.

Scope and attribution

Learned regime sensitivity differs from infallible intuition and from merely having an unused route of correction.
