So, recap that I think the word “frame” is used metaphorically for three different things:
“what parts of reality to pay attention to” (window frame)
“what’s the purpose of the conversation? the context? the goal?” (picture frame)
“what sort of structure are we talking about and what sort of things plug into it” (framework)
For “everything is coordination + cryptography” guy, I’m thinking mostly in terms of “framework” (although frameworks tend to also imply which-parts-of-reality-to-pay-attention-to).
The way they model society routes through a structure wherein coordination problems are salient and where crypto-solutions are considered first (over alternatives like ‘use leadership and charisma’ or ‘share feelings’ or ‘build literally any other kind of tool other than crypto’)
This is different from object level beliefs on “how does crypto work” and is still subtly different from having the object level belief that “crypto is really important”. Like, you can think crypto is really important, without organizing all of your thoughts or your conversations around that fact.
