Cognitive Tunneling. When you are deep in a "deployment" or complex task, your brain is in a state of high cognitive load. An interruption isn't just a noise; it is an assault on your working memory (RAM). Your brain’s "Task-Positive Network" (TPN) is in a knife-fight with the "Default Mode Network" (DMN), which handles social connection. Because the TPN is dominant, it perceives a loved one as a "system error." The Save State is a deliberate act to clear the cache so you can switch networks without crashing.
