C.2.2:6 - Bias-Annotation
Informative; non-binding.
- Onto/Epist bias: High formality is often mistaken for high warrant (“proof therefore true in the world”). This pattern mitigates by forcing LA/TA visibility and by routing transport loss into R rather than mutating the claim.
- Prag bias: Teams may Goodhart R by narrowing scope or selecting easy tests. This pattern mitigates by requiring explicit scope declaration and by making scope changes first-class (A.2.6).
- Gov bias: Overconfident reuse after a changed scope, scheme, model use, evidence basis, kind, or plane is a recurring failure. This pattern requires the actual relation and its declared loss instead of one generic crossing label.
- Did bias: A single scalar is seductive; it hides what kind of warrant exists. Lane reporting keeps the scalar honest.
