Without immediately going and looking at the rules, that may well be true.  Which is sort of my point.  When people recognize a state of emergency, the Process begins.  Nowhere in the Process, except possibly within a refresh prop, is there a point of ceasing to recognize a state of emergency.  Therefore, we theoretically would launch another Process as soon as one ended unless we made a point of including in the winning refresh prop the cessation of recognition of a state of emergency.  And since we theoretically don't know which refresh prop will be implemented, ALL refresh props would have to declare the cessation of recognition.  Which seems like a sort of empty ritual when we could just as easily make cessation of recognition part of the Process.

I personally would prefer the cessation of recognition go just before the Pause begins, since it requires deliberate, game-perpetuating effort to get as far as the Pause, but there are two termination points within the Pause.
