calibration error

A SOLVER-LAYER numeric measure of miscalibration (Principle 12) — a Brier-style score in the closed interval [0,1] attached to the statement asserting a metacognitive calibration, quantifying the gap between avowed confidence and accuracy (0 = perfectly calibrated). An owl:AnnotationProperty by design, exactly like gmeow:confidence: it is INVISIBLE to the reasoner and can never become a materialised axiom, so the calibration metric stays computed-not-asserted. The qualitative direction is gmeow:calibration; this is the magnitude.

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:calibrationError when the definition matches the source fact. Prefer a narrower GMEOW term when one exists, and keep projection concerns in the mapping layer.

# 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.
