framing

Framing is a specific kind of mental model — it is the cognitive structure through which one approaches and interprets a situation. The specific (how you frame a problem) is a case of the general (a cognitive framework for understanding).

framing is a specific cognitive bias: the framing effect where people decide between options differently depending on how options are presented (positive vs negative framing). The framing effect is a documented instance of systematic cognitive bias in decision-making.

Framing is a specific kind of rhetorical strategy. Framing IS a rhetorical method that shapes interpretation by selecting and highlighting certain aspects of reality while obscuring others. The sense pinned: framing as a rhetorical practice — a particular kind of rhetoric that constructs interpretive frames. Nearest kind: rhetoric.

which-came-first: framing as a general communicative practice predates cognitive-framing as a specialized psychological/organizational concept. The general practice existed first and fed into the more specific cognitive framing construct.

Short-time energy is computed by summing signal energy over framed segments. Remove the framing mechanism and short-time energy has no operational basis — it is defined as energy within time frames. Constitutive present-tense dependency.

Short-time zero-crossing rate is computed by counting zero crossings within framed segments of a signal. Remove the framing mechanism and short-time ZCR has no operational basis. Constitutive present-tense dependency.

Phase vocoder operates on windowed/framed segments of a signal. Remove framing and the phase vocoder cannot segment the signal for frequency-domain manipulation. Constitutive present-tense dependency.
