Projection Loss

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

A kind of information loss incurred when canonical content is projected to a notation system. An open value vocabulary of individuals; never subclassed (Principle 9).

Structure

Subclass of: gufo:QualityValue

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:ProjectionLoss 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 naming a specific kind of loss a notation incurs — quantization to 12-EDO, dropped microtiming, collapsed standpoint — so the lossiness of a projection profile is enumerable and gate-checkable.

Avoid when

• Avoid minting per-loss subclasses (losses are individuals) and avoid using a loss to record a parameter the notation DOES carry — that is gmeow:representableParameter, its complement.

How to use

• Mint each loss as an individual, attach it to a profile via gmeow:declaredLoss, and point gmeow:accountsForParameter at the canonical parameter it omits or approximates so the completeness gate can reconcile it.

Examples

• ex:lossMicrotiming a gmeow:ProjectionLoss; gmeow:accountsForParameter ex:microtiming.
