G.0:6 - Bias-Annotation

CG‑Spec can encode (and therefore amplify) biases if authored carelessly:

  • Tradition favoritism. Comparator choices may privilege a tradition’s evidence style; mitigation: require explicit evidence minima and explicit crossing costs, and keep cross-tradition aggregation gated by explicit justifications.
  • Metric gaming and Goodhart effects. Overemphasis on a single scalar can lead to gaming; mitigation: preserve set-return semantics and require explicit, auditable scalarisations when they are lawful and intended.
  • Hidden thresholds and opaque safety policy. Embedding acceptance thresholds in prose or code hides value judgments; mitigation: keep thresholds in CAL acceptance clauses and pin policy ids.
  • Scope creep. Comparisons leak across entityOfConcern or reference planes; mitigation: require explicit entityOfConcern and ReferencePlane pins and treat plane moves as explicit crossing events.
