projected standpoint
- CURIE:
gmeow:projectedStandpoint - IRI: https://blackcatinformatics.ca/gmeow/projectedStandpoint
- Category: property
- Defined by:
gmeow:slices/deception - Box roles: CBox role, RBox role (What is this?)
The doxastic standpoint claim that the deceiver projects to the deceived party — a gmeow:DoxasticStandpointClaim whose optional gmeow:claimOfBelief, when present, observes the projected gmeow:DoxasticState (e.g., a low-credence avowed stance). It is the public or communicated position that diverges from the held standpoint in a deception event. Non-functional: a complex deception may project several standpoints to different audiences.
Structure
Property shape: object property; gmeow:Event -> gmeow:DoxasticStandpointClaim
Practical Pattern
Use gmeow:projectedStandpoint from gmeow:Event to gmeow:DoxasticStandpointClaim when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.

# 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.

Usage Advice
Use when
- Use to name the position a deceiver communicates to the victim — the outer half of the held≠projected divergence, modelled as a
gmeow:DoxasticStandpointClaim; for paltering the projected claim is literally true yet conversationally misleading (pair withgmeow:implicates).
Avoid when
- Avoid for the deceiver's private belief (that is
gmeow:heldStandpoint) and avoid treating projection as a truth verdict on the proposition — refutation belongs on aStandpointClaim's modality, not here, and competing standpoints coexist (Principle 9).
How to use
- Mint a
gmeow:DoxasticStandpointClaimcommunicated to the victim; optionally link it viagmeow:claimOfBeliefto a projectedgmeow:DoxasticState(for example a low-credence avowed stance), attach it viagmeow:projectedStandpoint, and contrast it with the divergentgmeow:heldStandpoint; for an omission leave the projected standpoint absent and let the gap itself carry the mechanism.
Scope notes
- Range is
gmeow:DoxasticStandpointClaim— aStandpointClaimthat may, but need not, observe a projectedgmeow:DoxasticStateviagmeow:claimOfBelief.
