held standpoint

The doxastic standpoint claim that the deceiver actually holds to be true — a gmeow:DoxasticStandpointClaim whose gmeow:claimOfBelief observes the held gmeow:DoxasticState. It is the private belief or position that contrasts with the projected standpoint in a deception event. Non-functional: a complex deception may involve multiple held standpoints.

Structure

Property shape: object property; gmeow:Event -> gmeow:DoxasticStandpointClaim

Practical Pattern

# Worked example: deception is held ≠ projected. A spokesperson
# privately BELIEVES an internal misconfiguration caused an outage, but publicly
# PROJECTS that a third-party vendor did. The lie is a gmeow:Event linking the
# two DoxasticStandpointClaims: gmeow:heldStandpoint (the believed claim) and
# gmeow:projectedStandpoint (the asserted-but-disbelieved one). Falsehood is not
# an isFalse boolean — it is the projected claim carrying gmeow:claimVeridicality
# gmeow:veridicalityUntrue. Nothing here needs a "deception class": ordinary
# claims, an event type, and the held/projected gap do all the work.
#
# Re-grounded for both standpoints are reified as gmeow:DoxasticState
# instances and reported by gmeow:DoxasticStandpointClaim instances via
# gmeow:claimOfBelief. The held belief has high credence; the projected belief has
# low credence — the spokesperson publicly avows the vendor-caused proposition
# while actually disbelieving it. The deception is the divergence between the
# high-credence held state and the low-credence projected state.
