Calibration Status

- Category: class
- Defined by:
gmeow:slices/metacognition - Box roles: TBox role (What is this?)
The qualitative fit between an agent's avowed confidence and its actual accuracy — a closed value vocabulary: gmeow:wellCalibrated (confidence tracks accuracy), gmeow:overconfident (confidence exceeds accuracy — the Dunning–Kruger pole), and gmeow:underconfident (accuracy exceeds confidence — the impostor pole). Its members are individuals, never subclasses. The numeric magnitude of the gap is the solver-layer gmeow:calibrationError; this is the qualitative reading.
Structure
Subclass of: gufo:QualityValue
Practical Pattern
Use gmeow:CalibrationStatus as a specialized kind of gufo:QualityValue. Add statement metadata or a standpoint when the assertion needs provenance, confidence, or vantage.
Usage Advice
Use when
- Use as the value vocabulary for the qualitative calibration of a
gmeow:MetacognitiveState— well-calibrated, over-, or under-confident — when the direction of the confidence/accuracy gap is what consumers route on.
Avoid when
- Avoid subclassing it to add a status (the vocabulary is closed and its members are individuals) and avoid using it to carry the numeric error magnitude (that is the solver-layer
gmeow:calibrationError, not a value individual).
How to use
- Reference the three seeded
gmeow:CalibrationStatusindividuals from agmeow:MetacognitiveStateviagmeow:calibration; carry the numeric Brier-style gap, when computed, as agmeow:calibrationErrorannotation on the asserting statement.
