C.16.Q:4.1b - Polarity discipline (bearer-centred; no silent inverse)

qualityTermAscription is bearer-centred. Tech and normative prose SHALL keep the evaluated participant in the bearer position and SHALL publish evaluatorRef and governed viewpointRef separately, using none when either is absent.

  • When the evaluating architects are identified as ArchitectureReviewBoard, “Architects rate the system highly” rewrites to qualityTermAscription(bearerTuple={System}, evaluatorRef=ArchitectureReviewBoard, viewpointRef=none, …).
  • When the benchmark’s evaluation policy is identified as BenchmarkPolicy, “The benchmark says model quality is high” rewrites to qualityTermAscription(bearerTuple={Model}, evaluatorRef=BenchmarkPolicy, viewpointRef=none, …).

There is no inverse token that silently makes the evaluator the bearer. If inverse wording is used in Plain prose, rewrite it into the bearer-centred form, or use the explicit inverse form supplied by the applicable pattern.
