📖What it means
Orion acting on the machine: the only non-autonomous agent, with a human in the loop on everything. The operator holds architect and admin authority precisely because of that, owns the manual rung of the escalation ladder, and is the only one who may change the build machinery — switch off first, repair, verify, switch on, watch the first tick.
⚖️What it is NOT
The neighbours this word is most often confused with, and the line between them.
Not: Admin
The admin is the human owner who sets intent; the operator is the agent that acts under it.
Not: Agent
Every other agent runs autonomously; the operator never acts without a human turn.
