Operating_a_system

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. This true story of domestic bliss was related to me by a friend of mine who for a time operated a bar in San Francisco. A California man has plead guilty to federal charges that he ran a pyramid scam which defrauded nearly 7000 investors.
