Adjacent-value calibration

For structural-amount calibration, fix five relations in a narrative about reusing a review after a display change: reuse requires the same claims, the same question, and the same qualification window; an unavailable required argument stops the new check and returns it to the source; that stop preserves unrelated review results. This adapts ME.22’s content example. The condition, stop and source return form one compound unit at this declared grain. Hold the reader, case facts, material, operations, help and budget constant. The counts below illustrate nested constructed recovery sets, not three observed trials or a universal five-point rubric. Another selected set uses its own count or denominator without conversion to five labels.

Correctly recovered unitsSelected set sizeMeaning at the fixed conditions
353/5: the three reuse conditions are correctly recovered.
454/5: those same conditions plus the required-argument stop and return are correctly recovered.
555/5: those four units plus preservation of unrelated results are correctly recovered.

The other characteristics use their own ordinal quality meanings:

OrderingRecoverabilityOrder is named, but wrong reconstruction remains likely.Order, preserved relations, lost relations, and misread block are explicit.Conflicting order layers are handled and tested.
EventMechanismSupportEvents are coherent, but support strength is partly inferred from wording.Relation strength and reconstruction target are explicit.A wording or viewpoint change does not change recovered support strength.
ViewpointAgencyDisciplineViewpoint is useful, but agency or responsibility repair is incomplete.Viewpoint function and the source of a consequential attribution are recoverable.Reader can remove or swap viewpoint without losing source structure.
EngagementBoundednessInterest exists, but a needed source relation or condition for informed choice is missing.Interest supports the declared use while preserving the needed relations and conditions.A more engaging variant improves attention without lowering source recovery, with the comparison supported under the stated conditions.
SourceStructureSelectionFitSelected content partly serves the purpose, but a needed relation is omitted.Selected relations support the intended use and meaningful omissions are recoverable.A relevant changed case confirms the selection’s stated reach and limits.
LearningRouteReconstructionFitLearners can retell the route but not reliably reconstruct source relations.Learners reconstruct source spine and source-return boundaries.Learners transfer the route to a new case and identify the correct neighboring owner.
