8. Empirical Calculation Requirement

A concern calculation is empirical when its variables are derived from admissible evidence, declared human observation, machine measurement, or traceable system state.

A calculation is not empirical if it is based only on unsupported assertion, untraceable model judgment, hidden criteria, or unverifiable inference.

Each variable used in a concern calculation SHOULD declare:

  • variable name,
  • variable type,
  • evidence source,
  • extraction method,
  • confidence,
  • uncertainty,
  • timestamp,
  • provenance,
  • admissibility status.

This enables both human and machine observers to calculate concern posture over the same evidence substrate.
