ALPHA FLOOR = Fly by wire?

I would love to know where the "alpha floor" statement in a Boeing B737 manual came from? I am picking Boeing would like to know as well!

All my manuals only mention Min Speed Reversion!

Minimum Speed Reversion can in no way be classed as ALPHA Floor or even thought of as similar.

Vol 2
Minimum speed reversion is not available when the A/T is off, and the AFDS is in ALT HOLD, ALT ACQ, or after G/S capture. Minimum speed reversion is not available when in VNAV PATH and capturing or flying a level segment.
