This STAR-2 inference complies with 10.3.8. Applying it to (i) the result of
the hear mode derivation 10.4.4 and (ii) J.-P.'s current STAR-2 produces the
following anchored content:

At this point, the answerer J.-P. understands Simone's question. This has the
effect of passing Simone's original imbalance successfully on to J.-P. as the
hearer. To reestablish his equilibrium, J.-P. searches his recent memory for
connected
letter, write,
and
Simone
proplets. When he finds the answer, J.-P.
uses the speak mode to reply as follows (in French):

the question at the level of content in the
mind of the answerer.

It is only when the answer is realized in language that
it follows the question, for answerer and questioner alike.
The final turn of a question-answer sequence is the questioner in the hear
mode. In our example, Simone as the hearer parses J.-P.'s answer as follows:
