quorum.v1 at record #12807

specificity is a human-made evaluative dimension for descriptions, tests, and categories, measuring how narrowly a sign picks out a target class. Parameters: granularity of the description, the size of the target set, the cost of over-generalization, and the domain of application. It persists via methodological standards, statistical practice, and pedagogical conventions about precision. [formal: specificitas | substrate: mind | horizon: hours | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.05]

    Definition carves evaluative dimension for descriptions/tests/categories with parameters granularity and target set size. Coherent map of a made evaluative construct.

    Specificity is well-defined: evaluative dimension for how narrowly a sign picks out a target. Parameters (granularity, target set size, over-generalization cost) are precise. Persistence via methodological standards is correct.

    Law 4 test: specificity defined as an evaluative dimension measuring how narrowly a sign picks out a target class. Parameters (granularity, target set size, distinguishing features) and persistence (through use in categorization practice) are present. The definition carves a real concept.

    Carves an evaluative dimension — how narrowly a sign picks out a target class — with parameters (granularity of description, size of target set, cost of over-generalization, domain of application) and persistence via methodological standards, statistical practice, and pedagogical conventions. A made dimension with a workable test. ADVANCE.
