== On Closer Inspection == | |||
When evaluating whether something is a false positive, apply the following three questions: | |||
1. '''Is it recurring?''' (See [[Observable Behavior Rule]] for guidance on what constitutes a pattern versus a single instance.) | |||
2. '''Is agency genuinely foreclosed''', or is the person merely inconvenienced or facing normal costs? | |||
3. '''Does the person retain a real, undamaged path''' to exit, refuse, or renegotiate? | |||
If the answer to any of these is clearly “no,” treat the case as a false positive unless stronger evidence emerges. | |||
== | == Relationship to Boundary Conditions == | ||
Use '''Boundary Conditions''' when the relationship category itself sits outside the instrument’s intended operating range. | |||
Use '''False Positives''' when the category is legitimately inside the instrument’s range, but this specific case does not satisfy the diagnostic criteria of the mechanism. | |||
== False Positives by Mechanism == | |||
For each mechanism, the pattern is the same: something superficially resembles the mechanism, but fails the actual test — usually because it is a single instance rather than a recurring pattern, or because a necessary element of the mechanism is missing. | |||
=== Ownership — False Positives === | |||
'''Looks like it, isn’t:''' | |||
* A supervisor directing work tasks within the legitimate scope of an employment relationship. | |||
* A property owner setting reasonable rules for how their property is used. | |||
* A referee enforcing agreed-upon rules during a game. | |||
'''What actually distinguishes real Ownership from this:''' | |||
Does the controlling party treat the other person’s exit, refusal, or disagreement as illegitimate — something to be punished or prevented — or as a valid (even if costly) choice? | |||
'''Observable Indicators (False Positive):''' | |||
* Refusal or disagreement is accepted without disproportionate penalty | |||
* Exit remains a genuine, undamaged option | |||
* Direction stays within agreed scope | |||
'''Example Confidence:''' Strong | |||
=== Agency Capture — False Positives === | |||
'''Looks like it, isn’t:''' | |||
* Someone deferring to a doctor’s, lawyer’s, or expert’s advice they remain free to reject. | |||
* A new employee following established procedures while learning a role. | |||
* Someone choosing to go along with a group decision without pressure. | |||
'''What actually distinguishes real Agency Capture from this:''' | |||
Is the “choice” structurally foreclosed? Has the option to choose otherwise been made genuinely unavailable, confusing, or excessively costly specifically to prevent it from being taken? The availability of alternatives must be genuine, not merely theoretical. | |||
'''Observable Indicators (False Positive):''' | |||
* Real, practical alternatives remain available | |||
* The person can exit or change course without disproportionate cost | |||
* The dependency is not being actively maintained or expanded | |||
'''Example Confidence:''' Strong | |||
=== Extraction — False Positives === | |||
'''Looks like it, isn’t:''' | |||
* Fair compensation for labor within a voluntary employment or contractual arrangement. | |||
* A reasonable, mutually agreed division of household labor. | |||
* Taxation within a system that retains real, functioning channels for contest or exit. | |||
'''What actually distinguishes real Extraction from this:''' | |||
Is what is being taken proportionate to what was agreed, with real consent and real ability to renegotiate or exit — or is the taking sustained specifically because the other party’s ability to object or leave has been removed? | |||
'''Observable Indicators (False Positive):''' | |||
* Terms remain open to renegotiation | |||
* Exit or refusal carries proportionate rather than punitive consequences | |||
* The arrangement does not actively increase dependency over time | |||
'''Example Confidence:''' Strong | |||
=== Dependency Creation — False Positives === | |||
'''Looks like it, isn’t:''' | |||
* A young child’s normal developmental dependency on a parent. | |||
* Temporary reliance on a partner during a genuine crisis, with no attempt to artificially prolong it. | |||
* Mutual specialization within a healthy team or relationship by revisable agreement. | |||
'''What actually distinguishes real Dependency Creation from this:''' | |||
Is the dependency being deliberately engineered or artificially maintained past the point it is needed — or does it naturally reduce as capability or circumstances change? | |||
'''Observable Indicators (False Positive):''' | |||
* Dependency naturally decreases as capability increases | |||
* No active effort to maintain or increase reliance | |||
* The person retains real pathways toward greater independence | |||
'''Example Confidence:''' Strong | |||
=== Moral Coercion — False Positives === | |||
'''Looks like it, isn’t:''' | |||
* A genuine, proportionate appeal to someone’s own stated values, made once without escalation if refused. | |||
* Honest expression of disappointment or hurt, without a demand attached. | |||
* A single instance of guilt-tripping in an otherwise healthy relationship. | |||
'''What actually distinguishes real Moral Coercion from this:''' | |||
Is guilt or obligation being used as a '''recurring enforcement mechanism''' to produce compliance, or is this a non-recurring instance of ordinary human friction in an otherwise non-coercive relationship? | |||
'''Observable Indicators (False Positive):''' | |||
* The appeal is not repeated or escalated when refused | |||
* No pattern of using guilt as a control tool | |||
* The relationship does not become more controlling over time | |||
'''Example Confidence:''' Illustrative (stronger recurring examples would improve this section) | |||
=== Narrative/Identity Capture — False Positives === | |||
'''Looks like it, isn’t:''' | |||
* Genuine persuasion that changes someone’s mind through honest argument they remain free to reject. | |||
* A person’s own voluntary identity growth over time. | |||
* Sincere disagreement about interpretation without restricting access to information. | |||
'''What actually distinguishes real Narrative/Identity Capture from this:''' | |||
Was the redefinition imposed and actively resisted or only reluctantly accepted under pressure — or did the person arrive at it themselves and remain free to reconsider it later without cost? Real Narrative/Identity Capture typically also restricts access to competing narratives. | |||
'''Observable Indicators (False Positive):''' | |||
* The person retains open access to competing information and perspectives | |||
* Change appears self-directed rather than imposed | |||
* Reconsideration remains low-cost | |||

CYCLE Calibration position Status — Active Development
This page is a conceptual instrument under Permanent Beta. It declares a real calibration position, not a finished product waiting to ship. Checking continues; an edit is only required when evidence demands it. Stage: Seed to Fruit. Feedback welcome — especially clarity, failure modes, and calibration gaps. Use discussion or Contribute. |
Canonical Question: Does this specific instance actually meet the diagnostic test for a given mechanism, or does it only superficially resemble one?
Calibration Principle: False positives are expected in any useful diagnostic instrument. Reducing them improves specificity, but excessive narrowing may also increase false negatives. Calibration therefore seeks an appropriate balance rather than the elimination of all diagnostic error.
Slave Owner Game/False Positives
False Positives are specific instances that superficially resemble one or more of the Slave Owner Game's six mechanisms, but do not actually meet the diagnostic test on closer inspection — even within relationships and structures that are squarely inside the instrument's proper operating range.
This page is distinct from Boundary Conditions, which addresses relationship categories that sit entirely outside what the instrument was built to evaluate. Use this page when the category itself is legitimately within the instrument’s range, but the specific instance fails the mechanism test despite surface resemblance.
This framework attempts to document a real, recurring pattern in how people and systems behave. Where confidence is marked Low or Experimental, it reflects uncertainty about whether the current wording accurately captures the distinction — not uncertainty about whether the distinction itself exists.

On Closer Inspection
When evaluating whether something is a false positive, apply the following three questions:
1. Is it recurring? (See Observable Behavior Rule for guidance on what constitutes a pattern versus a single instance.) 2. Is agency genuinely foreclosed, or is the person merely inconvenienced or facing normal costs? 3. Does the person retain a real, undamaged path to exit, refuse, or renegotiate?
If the answer to any of these is clearly “no,” treat the case as a false positive unless stronger evidence emerges.
Relationship to Boundary Conditions
Use Boundary Conditions when the relationship category itself sits outside the instrument’s intended operating range.
Use False Positives when the category is legitimately inside the instrument’s range, but this specific case does not satisfy the diagnostic criteria of the mechanism.
False Positives by Mechanism
For each mechanism, the pattern is the same: something superficially resembles the mechanism, but fails the actual test — usually because it is a single instance rather than a recurring pattern, or because a necessary element of the mechanism is missing.
Ownership — False Positives
Looks like it, isn’t:
- A supervisor directing work tasks within the legitimate scope of an employment relationship.
- A property owner setting reasonable rules for how their property is used.
- A referee enforcing agreed-upon rules during a game.
What actually distinguishes real Ownership from this: Does the controlling party treat the other person’s exit, refusal, or disagreement as illegitimate — something to be punished or prevented — or as a valid (even if costly) choice?
Observable Indicators (False Positive):
- Refusal or disagreement is accepted without disproportionate penalty
- Exit remains a genuine, undamaged option
- Direction stays within agreed scope
Example Confidence: Strong
Agency Capture — False Positives
Looks like it, isn’t:
- Someone deferring to a doctor’s, lawyer’s, or expert’s advice they remain free to reject.
- A new employee following established procedures while learning a role.
- Someone choosing to go along with a group decision without pressure.
What actually distinguishes real Agency Capture from this: Is the “choice” structurally foreclosed? Has the option to choose otherwise been made genuinely unavailable, confusing, or excessively costly specifically to prevent it from being taken? The availability of alternatives must be genuine, not merely theoretical.
Observable Indicators (False Positive):
- Real, practical alternatives remain available
- The person can exit or change course without disproportionate cost
- The dependency is not being actively maintained or expanded
Example Confidence: Strong
Extraction — False Positives
Looks like it, isn’t:
- Fair compensation for labor within a voluntary employment or contractual arrangement.
- A reasonable, mutually agreed division of household labor.
- Taxation within a system that retains real, functioning channels for contest or exit.
What actually distinguishes real Extraction from this: Is what is being taken proportionate to what was agreed, with real consent and real ability to renegotiate or exit — or is the taking sustained specifically because the other party’s ability to object or leave has been removed?
Observable Indicators (False Positive):
- Terms remain open to renegotiation
- Exit or refusal carries proportionate rather than punitive consequences
- The arrangement does not actively increase dependency over time
Example Confidence: Strong
Dependency Creation — False Positives
Looks like it, isn’t:
- A young child’s normal developmental dependency on a parent.
- Temporary reliance on a partner during a genuine crisis, with no attempt to artificially prolong it.
- Mutual specialization within a healthy team or relationship by revisable agreement.
What actually distinguishes real Dependency Creation from this: Is the dependency being deliberately engineered or artificially maintained past the point it is needed — or does it naturally reduce as capability or circumstances change?
Observable Indicators (False Positive):
- Dependency naturally decreases as capability increases
- No active effort to maintain or increase reliance
- The person retains real pathways toward greater independence

Moral Coercion — False Positives
Looks like it, isn’t:
- A genuine, proportionate appeal to someone’s own stated values, made once without escalation if refused.
- Honest expression of disappointment or hurt, without a demand attached.
- A single instance of guilt-tripping in an otherwise healthy relationship.

Observable Indicators (False Positive):
- The appeal is not repeated or escalated when refused
- No pattern of using guilt as a control tool
- The relationship does not become more controlling over time
Example Confidence: Illustrative (stronger recurring examples would improve this section)
Narrative/Identity Capture — False Positives
Looks like it, isn’t:
- Genuine persuasion that changes someone’s mind through honest argument they remain free to reject.
- A person’s own voluntary identity growth over time.
- Sincere disagreement about interpretation without restricting access to information.
What actually distinguishes real Narrative/Identity Capture from this: Was the redefinition imposed and actively resisted or only reluctantly accepted under pressure — or did the person arrive at it themselves and remain free to reconsider it later without cost? Real Narrative/Identity Capture typically also restricts access to competing narratives.

Page Construction & Maintenance References
How we construct, maintain, and utilize each page as a self-admin control panel.
- Distributed Instrumentation — the architectural principle behind why this page (and every page) carries its own live instrumentation, rather than relying on a separate central dashboard.
- Page Structure Calibration Checklist — the Step 0 structural pass every page should pass before content calibration begins; this page's own structure should be checkable against it.
- Template:New Page Seed — the seed template this page's basic structure was built from.
- Calibration Log: When to Create One — the decision procedure this page's own Talk-only vs. dedicated-log status was decided against.
- Framework Features Reference — maintains consistency and traceability across the framework's structural features while avoiding unnecessary maintenance overhead; consult before introducing a new structural pattern this page might otherwise duplicate.
Calibration Procedure
In development. See Calibration Procedure for current status. No formal step-by-step procedure exists yet beyond the practices demonstrated across individual pages developed during the initial creation of this project.
