The meaning which makes the most sense to me in the context of this post is that a frame is just an ideology applied to a small interpersonal group, where an ideology is a set of ideas about what types of harms or disliked behaviors must be accepted as legitimate and what types may be responded to with self-protection or retaliation. When a political leader has ideas like that, it’s an ideology; when a meditation guru or father or boyfriend has them, it’s a frame. Or at least that’s how I’d try to steelman it.
