Confidence exceeds accuracy: the agent is more sure than it should be — the Dunning–Kruger pole, characteristically overconfidence at low competence. The confabulation risk a trustworthy memory must flag.

# Worked example — Dunning–Kruger as a MODELLED metacognitive miscalibration, the
# second-order companion to the cognition slice's dunning-kruger.ttl. Where that
# example records two coexisting first-order gmeow:KnowledgeProficiency claims at
# divergent depths (Principle 9), this one turns the reflexive lens on Sam's OWN
# self-assessment: a gmeow:MetacognitiveState whose gmeow:metaTarget is Sam's
# self-attributed mastery, carrying gmeow:calibration gmeow:overconfident. The
# numeric Brier-style gap rides gmeow:calibrationError — a SOLVER-LAYER annotation
# (Principle 12), invisible to the reasoner. The calibration is itself a
# vantage-indexed claim (Principle 9): the assessor judges Sam overconfident; GMEOW
# records the judgement, it does not adjudicate a global verdict.

# --- Second-order: Sam's metacognitive state reflecting on that self-assessment.
# metaTarget is the reflexivity edge onto Sam's own first-order proficiency
# (the same-agent ownership is a SHACL concern, not an OWL axiom); calibration
# reads the direction of the confidence/accuracy gap.
