I like your articulation of frame mobility. It sounds a lot like what children who have led highly mobile childhoods crossing multiple cultures due to their parent’s profession do almost intuitively rather than through training. Norma McCaig of George Mason U coined the term “global nomad” for this category and her research [and others] demonstrates that this particular population “assumption jump” almost as a matter of course. A “role” for each location, and one that takes on the chameleon like characteristics of the socio cultural norms of that location or milieu. Maybe trained anthropologists with that kind of a background would be an interesting group to encounter?
