Names the deliberate operator-side action of carrying the relational frame across domains — from family, or wherever the reader saw it intact, into the operator role. The book’s central invitation. Paired with the Question: ask the question, then transpose.

Explanation

Most readers already have a place in their life where the relational frame this book describes is intact and functioning — usually family, sometimes a close friendship or a team they’ve been part of. The problem this term names isn’t that readers lack the frame; it’s that they’ve never been asked to carry it across into their role as an operator.

That two-step sequence — ask the Question, then transpose — is deliberately simple because the invitation itself is simple even though executing it is not. The Question surfaces where the reader already has the relational frame working. [The Transposition] is the harder ask: take what’s already proven to work there and deliberately apply the same frame to Guests, cast, and the business itself. Naming this as the book’s central invitation signals that everything else in the framework is, in one sense, just scaffolding to help the reader actually complete this one transposition.
