G.4:6 - Bias-Annotation

CAL is where “what counts as acceptable” is encoded. Typical bias vectors include:

  • threshold‑selection bias (arbitrary floors masquerading as natural laws),
  • measurement bias amplified by illegitimate arithmetic or hidden scalarization,
  • survivorship bias in Worked‑Examples and probe telemetry,
  • Goodhart pressures when report‑only telemetry is accidentally treated as dominance.

The pattern mitigates these by requiring typed acceptance clauses, explicit policy pins, and an auditable ledger of proofs and justifications, while keeping cross-sense and ReferencePlane reuse explicit and placing penalties only in the explicit assurance lane.
