Definition #
The fatigue that comes from not seeing movement. Road-agnostic — both Road 1 and Road 2 produce it, but by opposite mechanisms.
Family #
Canon. Locked alongside [Relational Compounding] and [Operational Stasis].
Why Behind the Thinking #
On Road 1, Stall Fatigue comes from having to keep increasing the transactional dose just to maintain the same level. On Road 2, Stall Fatigue comes from doing the right relational and structural work without visible lift. Stall Fatigue names a specific surface condition: the operator is exhausted not primarily from the volume of work but from the absence of visible progress. The cast notices the stasis, the vendors notice, the Guests notice — and the operator’s self-story, built on motion and competence, has nothing to say about standing still ([perspective_recompiled_07.08.2026.txt], [ip_locked_masterfile.txt]). Making it road-agnostic preserves the common felt experience while keeping the mechanisms tied to each road, so correctives can be designed differently.

Performance fundamental; surfaces in the Compounding Loop discussion of decision paralysis.
