A user-reported state of sustained, undistracted concentration during a stretch of productive work with an AI system, in which the tool fades into the background of attention. The construct is the user's focus state, attributed to the person, not jointly to the system.
STATE. The user rates depth and continuity of concentration for a defined work block on a focus scale, optionally corroborated by an objective proxy such as uninterrupted on-task duration before the next context switch. The construct is the rated focus level during AI-assisted work.
Proposed measurement protocol (not yet empirically validated): Post-block self-report on a brief focus/flow self-report (a short multi-item scale, 7-point) plus optional on-task-duration proxy; could be reported as scale mean; if proxy used, report self-report vs duration correlation.
