calibration

CURIE: gmeow:calibration
IRI: https://blackcatinformatics.ca/gmeow/calibration
Category: property
Defined by: gmeow:slices/metacognition
Box roles: RBox role (What is this?)

Assigns a qualitative gmeow:CalibrationStatus (wellCalibrated / overconfident / underconfident) to a gmeow:MetacognitiveState — the direction of the gap between avowed confidence and accuracy. NOT functional: calibration is itself a vantage-indexed claim (a self-assessment and an external assessment may coexist, Principle 9), so several statuses may attach across frames. The range points only at the locally-owned closed value vocabulary.

Structure

Property shape: object property; gmeow:MetacognitiveState -> gmeow:CalibrationStatus

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:calibration from gmeow:MetacognitiveState to gmeow:CalibrationStatus when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.

# 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.

Common Companion Terms

Usage Advice

Use when

Use to record the qualitative calibration of a metacognitive state — the direction of the confidence/accuracy gap — so consumers can flag overconfident self-assessments and surface underconfident ones.

Avoid when

Avoid pointing it outside the closed gmeow:CalibrationStatus vocabulary, avoid using it to carry the numeric magnitude (that is gmeow:calibrationError), and avoid forcing exactly one status — a self-assessment and an external assessment may coexist as vantage-indexed claims (Principle 9).

How to use

Point gmeow:calibration from a gmeow:MetacognitiveState at a gmeow:CalibrationStatus individual; carry whose-assessment on the statement via gmeow:accordingTo when contested, and attach the numeric gmeow:calibrationError when a solver has computed it.
