Talk:Standards: Types and Calibration Obligations

From The Sovereign Games (MoA Lab)

Calibration Report - 2026-07-14 (v1.2 — Final)

Reviewer: Sovereign Review Type: Self-Assessment, informed by final-round multi-model review (ChatGPT, Grok)

Summary of Changes

  • Tightened "provisionally understood to depend on at least four factors" → "appears to depend on at least four factors" per Grok's wording catch.
  • Added three explicitly-deferred future items to Open Questions: eventual rename of Candidate Reference Standard, eventual Lifecycle diagram, and a future standalone page on the philosophy of why standards evolve ("living approximations of reality, not eternal truths or arbitrary conventions"). All three explicitly marked "not now" by the reviewer proposing them — logged, not built.
  • Added a new self-flagging breadcrumb to Future Development: the taxonomy should remain descriptive of practice rather than become rigid structure imposed on it, with the review-or-flag-as-abandoned condition built in, matching the pattern already used for the worked-examples commitment.
  • Verified internal consistency: Disconfirmation Conditions count (5) matches the Open Questions reference to "five" — no drift found, per Grok's check.
  • Declined to act on: title shortening (would trigger a third reference-fixing pass on top of two already pending — not worth the churn this late), Standard Lifecycle expansion (already honestly tracked as incomplete in Open Questions, not a new finding), and re-forcing a decision on Personal Standards (repeatedly, deliberately left open across multiple rounds — continuing to leave it open is itself the considered answer for this session, consistent with the Decision Records format's own principle against manufacturing resolution). "Reality Dictates Recalibration" wording kept as-is per ChatGPT's own explicit deferral and for tonal consistency with "Reality gets final vote" elsewhere in the project.

instrument_grade: Confirmed (unchanged)

calibration_rationale: Final round produced no structural findings — both reviewers' substantive suggestions were either already addressed, explicitly deferred by the reviewer proposing them, or minor wording. This is the expected signature of a page that has genuinely reached architectural stability rather than one being rushed to close. Held at Confirmed, not raised further, since the underlying gaps (no independent human reviewer, worked example still unpublished) from the prior finalization pass remain unchanged. review_confidence: High

Validation: Moderate (unchanged)

No new validation evidence this pass — wording and Open Questions additions only.

Fields Changed

Version: 1.1 → 1.2 Minor wording tightened in Calibration Burden section Open Questions: 3 new deferred items added Future Development: 1 new self-flagging breadcrumb added

  • Added all seven mandatory templates + Standalone Transparency.
  • Made Resource block visible (removed `display:none`).
    • Process Note:**

Nonconformances were logged before fixes were applied. Maturity and instrument_grade remain Confirmed — this pass did not re-evaluate content quality.

    • What This Report Does NOT Claim:**

No content calibration was performed.
