Claim Veridicality

• CURIE: gmeow:ClaimVeridicality
• IRI: https://blackcatinformatics.ca/gmeow/ClaimVeridicality
• Category: class
• Defined by: gmeow:slices/deception
• Box roles: CBox role, TBox role (What is this?)

The veridicality status of a claim — whether it is untrue, licensed-false (fiction, satire, sarcasm), or true. A closed value vocabulary (individuals, never subclasses) that makes the licensed-falsehood safety property explicit, separating intentional deception from harmless fictional assertion.

Structure

Subclass of: gufo:QualityValue

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:ClaimVeridicality 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 behind gmeow:claimVeridicality — the closed set of individuals (untrue, licensed falsehood) that distinguish harmless fictional assertion from deceptive untruth as an explicit safety property.

Avoid when

• Avoid minting per-status subclasses (statuses are individuals) and avoid using it as a global truth flag; veridicality is a frame-relative, standpoint-indexed assessment, never an isFalse axiom (Principle 11).

How to use

• Reference the seeded individuals (gmeow:veridicalityUntrue, gmeow:veridicalityLicensedFalsehood) from a claim via gmeow:claimVeridicality; extend with new individuals rather than subclasses if a finer status is needed.

Examples

• gmeow:veridicalityLicensedFalsehood a gmeow:ClaimVeridicality.
