Standpoint Modality

The belief value a standpoint assigns a proposition — a closed value vocabulary spanning the Standpoint-Logic □/◊ and the CRMinf belief value (true/false/probable/possible), plus the Frankfurt bullshit modality: gmeow:unequivocal, gmeow:probable, gmeow:conceivable, gmeow:refuted, gmeow:bullshit. Absence of a value is read as unequivocal.

Subclass of: gufo:QualityValue

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

Use as the value vocabulary for HOW a standpoint holds a proposition — the closed set of belief values (unequivocal, probable, conceivable, refuted, bullshit) a claim declares through gmeow:standpointModality or gmeow:claimModality.

Avoid conflating it with gmeow:confidence (our certainty about the stance) or with gmeow:accordingTo (whose frame); modality is how settled the standpoint itself holds the claim, an axis orthogonal to those. Never use a refuted value to mark a proposition globally false — refutation is one standpoint's denial, never a winner over the rest (Principle 9).

Reference the seeded modality individuals from a StandpointClaim via gmeow:claimModality or from an annotated statement via gmeow:standpointModality; leave the value absent to mean unequivocal, and keep competing modalities on coexisting claims rather than resolving them.
