Enframing order produces the impression of a structure standing apart as prior.

Evidence

More generally, the technique of order I called enframing, in military manoeuvres, in timetables, in the layout of classrooms and hospitals, in the rebuilding of villages as well as cities, in each case tended to produce the effect of a structure, which seemed to stand apart as something conceptual and prior. — Timothy Mitchell, Colonising Egypt, 468
