Appraisal

An affective or aesthetic reading of something, as an observation: vantage = the appraiser. Dimensional (PAD: a valence/arousal/dominance value) or qualitative (an aesthetic quality: elegance, sublimity, kitsch) — at least one of the two forms (SHACL). Two critics disagreeing are two coexisting cells; self-report is top authority for the subject's own standpoint (Principle 9, the facetVantage precedent).
