systematicity
- CURIE:
gmeow:systematicity - IRI: https://blackcatinformatics.ca/gmeow/systematicity
- Category: property
- Defined by:
gmeow:slices/inference - Box roles: RBox role (What is this?)
A solver-computed measure of a gmeow:Analogy's structural consistency (Gentner's systematicity principle: deep, interconnected relational mappings beat shallow attribute matches) — the basis on which the best analogy is selected. A solver-layer value (Principle 12); best-analogy selection promotes the winner's modality and suppresses rival mappings, never an asserted isBest bit. NOT functional.
Structure
Property shape: datatype property; gmeow:Analogy -> xsd:decimal
Practical Pattern
Use gmeow:systematicity from gmeow:Analogy to xsd:decimal when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.

# Worked example — ANALOGY (structure-mapping, Gentner).
#
# The Rutherford analogy: the atom is like the solar system. Analogical
# inference transfers relational structure from a familiar SOURCE (the solar
# system) to a TARGET (the atom) via a gmeow:Analogy whose element-pair
# gmeow:Correspondence relations carry the mapping. The mapping is scored by a
# solver-layer gmeow:systematicity (Gentner: deep relational structure beats
# shallow attribute matches). The warrant of the analogical
# gmeow:InferenceCommitment points at the gmeow:Analogy. Not truth-preserving,
# so the conclusion is gmeow:probable.
