defunction

(n.) Anything that diminishes one's ability to function fully, compromising their wellness. Opposite to a refunction.

disciplined discourse

(n.) [wellness campaign terminology] - REFUNCTION

A refunction of accountably communicating all the relevant needs in a conflict or situation, by thoroughly challenging any distractions like loaded language, cognitive biases and distortions, formal and informal fallacies, disclosure avoidance, and mischaracterizations, and any applicable defunctions and refunctions. Participants are tasked to "flag" suspected distractions and invite agreement to pause the discussion to remove any identified distractions.

drift

(n.) - DEFUNCTION

The gradual and often imperceptible change from fully resolving natural needs to only easing such needs. Consequently, optimal functioning shifts to suboptimal functioning, from peakfunction to symfunction. This tends to occur when the means to fully resolve needs persistently declines. See symfunction capture.

The shift from symfunction into dysfunction is identified more specifically as deviation. The shift from dysfunction into misfunction is identified as departure. But the simpler language of accessible anankelogy may use “drift” to cover all these shifts into lowered levels of functioning.

dynamic relating

(n.) - REFUNCTION

Actively relating to the needs and experiences of others instead of relying on assumptions, expectations or impersonal rules. Counters normative alienation.

dysfunction

(n.) Level of a person's or entity's ability to function focused on relieving pain from many unresolved needs. Sits above misfunction and below symfunction.
