C.21:4.1 - Portable Characteristics

Each bullet below names one exact Characteristic and Scale family. A DHC use selects only the coordinates needed by its question.

  1. ReproducibilityRate — ratio in [0,1]; Unit replicated_claims/tested_claims; polarity higher-is-more-reproducible, not “healthier in every respect.” Declare the tested claim or benchmark population, independent-team condition, protocol, corpus or cohort, and time window.

  2. FormalRecognitionStatus — nominal by default. Values such as none, draft, approved, withdrawn, or another lifecycle vocabulary belong to one named standards body and exact status scheme. Use an ordinal only when that scheme itself supplies a lawful order. There is no general de facto < de jure ladder and no default health polarity.

  3. PracticeAdoptionRate — ratio in [0,1]; Unit adopting_units/eligible_units. Declare the population, adoption criterion, observation window, and treatment of partial adoption. Higher means wider observed adoption, not automatically better health or SoTA.

  4. AlignmentDensity — ratio; Unit obtaining_relations/100_compared_cells. Count only exact obtaining directed F.9 relations in the declared F.17 cell set. For each counted relation, state its orientation and admitted-use qualifier; keep observed loss in its evidence account, separate from any bounded-use claim under section 4.2. A higher value means denser declared alignment for that set; any health band belongs to G.4.

  5. DisruptionBalance — interval reading over one exact disruption/consolidation method and corpus. Polarity is target-is-best, using an explicit target-band distance rule; the band belongs to G.4 Acceptance.

  6. EvidenceUnitResolution — ordinal, compare-only, under one exact segmentation scheme whose levels are nested, for example artifact < section < claim < subclaim. Higher means a finer addressable unit under that scheme. It does not say how many claims an artifact contains or how densely claims are supported.

  7. ClaimsPerArtifact — ratio; Unit claims/artifact, with exact claim segmentation and artifact population. It measures claim breadth or packing, not support density. Declare a target band when the use needs one; no universal monotone health polarity applies.

  8. SupportAnchorsPerClaim — ratio; Unit anchors/claim, with exact anchor admissibility and claim segmentation. It measures support-anchor density, not claim size. It has no universal monotone health polarity.

  9. TraditionShareEntropy — one exact entropy Characteristic and Scale, with log base, normalization, category set, and population fixed. Higher entropy means greater dispersion on that scale. Any desired band is separate.

  10. TraditionShareConcentration — HHI or another exact concentration Characteristic, normally ratio in [0,1]; higher HHI means greater concentration and therefore lower dispersion. Do not place it in the entropy field. 1 - HHI may be introduced only as an explicit transformation to a separately declared receiving Scale. Comparing that result with normalized entropy still requires an explicit common comparison rule.
