E.5.4:4 - Solution — Principle‑Taxonomy‑Guided Bias Audit
-
Bias‑Lens set Every normative pattern is assessed through five lenses that match the Principle classes from E.3:
Gov,Arch,Epist(epistemological and ontological),Prag,Did. -
Equilibrium question For each lens ask: “Does the pattern over‑privilege this class or silence it?” Examples:
- Over‑reliance on
Epistprecision may ignorePragcost. - Dominant
Archmetaphors may alienateDidaudiences.
- Over‑reliance on
-
Scope‑or‑Balance rule
- If imbalance is found and universality is intended, re‑phrase to restore balance.
- If imbalance is intentional (domain‑specific pattern), mark the scope explicitly: “Applies primarily to thermodynamic systems.”
-
Audit trace The pattern carries a short Bias‑Annotation paragraph recording which lenses were tested and any scoping statement. Keep workflow checklists, reviewer metadata and other data outside the Core, along with tips on data formats and data governance.
