'lose' is correct in this case,. It's derived from the idiom 'context 
loss'.  more broadly, 'loose' implies a strong sense of agency on the part 
of whatever is doing the 'loosing,' whereas 'lose' does not (it's the PRCM 
that causes the powerdomain to lose context, not the powerdomain itself - 
the powerdomain's logic/memory context is subject to the PRCM's whim)
