There's a term I'm convinced I got from a skimming of The Culture series and I'm blanking on it's name. The details are it's the term used to describe challenges and phenomena that are outside their current frame of reference. Something like an O something P?

It's killing me I'm blanking on this. Course I may have my sci-fi worlds mixed up, as well.

Edit: Oh, Jesus. That was fast. Yes. That's it. Outside Context Problem. Thank you. Needed it for a roleplay that's gone from my character giving away copies of his omnipotent assistant being a good idea to discovering some of the instanced assistants others have are being /hunted/, and the only visual evidence we have of by what is a graphic artist who drew a comic of his assistant being pulled into nothing...by a hand that came from OUTSIDE THE COMIC IMAGE FRAME.

Hence, what I think we're dealing with.

Problem

I must be, as I've never seen it mentioned anywhere else.

I struggled BIG time early on, with no indication I was within weapon parameters except a dead silent, same-HUD-green "Shoot."

I know the "Better IR Missiles" has one, but even that still leaves out Radar missiles, not to mention any audio indication for any ground weapon.

I'm not asking for Ace Combat here. I don't need flashing red hexagons around something. But really...I hadn't noticed how much dopamine I was getting from those tones till they were gone.

Just me? If so, I can live with it.
