C.16.Q:4.2 - Core construct: QualitySense

Every in-scope use SHALL resolve to an explicit QualitySense token.

A QualitySense token publishes at least:

QualitySense :=
  ⟨
    senseId,
    bearerArity,
    articulationMode,
    representationSubstrate,
    defaultNormalForm,
    admissibleNormalForms,
    probeOrModelFrameKind,
    comparisonFrameRequired,
    admissibleEvidenceModes,
    admissibleChangeClasses,
    bridgePolicy
  ⟩

Where:

  • articulationMode ∈ { preconceptual, exemplar-grounded, proxy-grounded, characteristic-bound, bundle-bound, objective-bound }
  • representationSubstrate ∈ { embodied-kinesthetic, latent-distributed, symbolic-local, hybrid }
  • defaultNormalForm ∈ { SignalPack, Characteristic, Bundle, Objective }
  • admissibleNormalForms is the explicitly declared set of admissible evaluative normal forms for the sense. defaultNormalForm names the primary evaluative normal form; any additional endpoint forms MUST be declared here rather than inferred ad hoc. probeOrModelFrameKind constrains only the domain-local probe/model configuration, while comparisonFrameRequired states whether a separate A.19.CPM comparison configuration must be named. bridgePolicy can require F.9 recovery or forbid silent reuse, but it cannot establish a Bridge. If the quality ascription is published, handle publication face, form, unit, carrier, and rendering questions under E.17, E.8, or the applicable publication pattern.
