Thanks for clarifying! And for the excellent post :)
Finally, when steam flows out to the world, and the task passes out of our attention, the consequences (the things we were trying to achieve) become background assumptions.
To the extent that Steam-in-use is a kind of useful certainty about the future, I’d expect “background assumptions” to become an important primitive that interacts in this arena as well, given that it’s a useful certainty about the present. I realize that’s possibly already implicit in your writing when you say figure/ground.
