Adaptive Continuity
A graded condition in which a user incorporates adjustments, corrections, or scope changes during a task while sustaining task momentum, so that revisions do not break the ongoing work rhythm of an AI-assisted session.
Operational Definition
STATE. Rated as the degree to which adjustments are absorbed without loss of momentum across a task block: scored from low (each change causes a stall or restart) to high (changes are integrated with continuous progress), anchored to observable indicators such as continued forward task moves immediately after a correction.
Measurement Schema
Proposed measurement protocol (not yet empirically validated): Behavioral process metric: from session logs, compute median post-adjustment resumption latency (seconds from a correction/scope-change to the next on-task action) and the proportion of adjustments followed by continued progress without restart; could be reported as a continuous index, not a count.
