propagation mutation distance

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

The number of transmission hops before a propagated deceptive claim mutates. Solver-layer computation (Principle 12).

Structure

Property shape: datatype property; gmeow:Event -> xsd:integer

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:propagationMutationDistance from gmeow:Event to xsd:integer when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.

Common Companion Terms

Usage Advice

Use when

Use on a disinformation-campaign event to record how many propagation hops a claim survives before mutating — a solver metric over the prov:wasDerivedFrom / gmeow:propagatesFrom chain that helps locate the misinformation↔disinformation boundary.

Avoid when

Avoid asserting it as an authored fact (it is solver-derived, Principle 12) and avoid reading it as a per-node intent label — the originating-deceiver vs unwitting-dupe distinction is per-node (gmeow:roleDeceiver / gmeow:roleDupe), not a campaign-wide hop count.

How to use

Let the solver compute the xsd:integer distance from the propagation chain and write it onto the campaign event; keep per-node intent on gmeow:deceptiveIntentClaim and roles rather than inferring it from this number.

Examples

ex:campaign gmeow:propagationMutationDistance 3.
