• Category: class
• Defined by: gmeow:slices/norms
• Box roles: TBox role (What is this?)

One evaluative axis of a rubric — what is being judged, with NAMED poles: a reward pole and a penalty pole that are small information objects with their own labels and definitions ('Power from the Bottom' vs 'Passive Victimhood'), not just numeric extremes. Anchors (gmeow:hasScoreAnchor) pin score ranges to meanings and exemplars.

Structure

Subclass of: gmeow:InformationObject

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:Criterion as a specialized kind of gmeow:InformationObject. Add statement metadata or a standpoint when the assertion needs provenance, confidence, or vantage.

Common Companion Terms

gmeow:InformationObject

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use for one evaluative axis of a rubric — what is being judged, with named reward and penalty poles and calibration anchors.

Avoid when

• Avoid reducing poles to bare numeric extremes (poles are named information objects) and avoid using a criterion outside a rubric — attach it via gmeow:hasCriterion.

How to use

• Mint the criterion, give it mandatory distinct gmeow:rewardPole / gmeow:penaltyPole, pin score ranges with gmeow:hasScoreAnchor, classify it with gmeow:criterionDomain, and optionally override the rubric scale with gmeow:usesScale.

Examples

• ex:agency a gmeow:Criterion; gmeow:rewardPole ex:powerFromBottom; gmeow:penaltyPole ex:passiveVictimhood.
