Attention Health Index (AHI)
THE RESET's headline measure of a population's attentional condition. A single dashboard number, never a substitute for the sub-indices beneath it.
Interpretation
This metric gauges the population-level quality of attention across monitored surfaces. A declining value signals that manipulative patterns are gaining ground faster than counter-patterns can neutralise them. Sustained drops below the warning band trigger GOVERNOR's automated escalation advisory, prompting the Steward to convene a threat review.
Formula
Thresholds & Bands
| Band | Range | State |
|---|---|---|
| Healthy | ≥ 85 | ok |
| Strained | 65-85 | warn |
| Captured | < 65 | crit |
Data Collection
Aggregated by GOVERNOR from multiple sub-system feeds. The composite value is recalculated on every telemetry cycle and written to the standing register before dashboards poll.
GOVERNOR Behavior
Healthy (≥ 85): GOVERNOR logs the reading, updates the standing dashboard, and takes no further action. Strained (65-85): GOVERNOR escalates to an advisory notification. The on-duty watch officer receives an alert, and the metric is flagged in the next Steward briefing if the condition persists for two consecutive reporting periods. Captured (< 65): GOVERNOR triggers an immediate escalation. The Steward is notified directly, the relevant department head is paged, and all related dashboards enter amber-alert mode until the reading recovers above the warning threshold.
