| An Operator manipulates the substructure of a System such that the System performs the function it was created for. This frame differs from the Using frame in that this frame does not profile the purpose of an agent but rather their manipulation of an entity (System/Instrument). In the case of using, the Agent need not manipulate the Instrument at all, as in: Mrs. Adams used the room as a place to hang the family laundry to dry. | |
