`kaal:entity:calibration`

**Status.** derived

This node is assembled mechanically from the 4 claims that carry the concept tag `calibration`. It is a roster of what the corpus says under this term. It is **not** an adjudicated definition: no single statement here has been ruled canonical, and no first-appearance call has been made. Read the claims and judge for yourself.

**2012**

- [2061166-023](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/2061166-023) [empirical/argued] -- The authors contend that the European Commission's suggested floor of 4 to 19 percent of risk-weighted assets in pre-qualified bail-inable debt under the targeted approach is unrealistically high.
  > The Commission suggests that the pre-qualified amount of debt could include a fixed minimum for all institutions between 4 and 19 per cent of risk-weighted assets.470 Although these numbers seem unrealistically high

- [2061166-027](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/2061166-027) [design/argued] -- Efficient calibration of the triggering event is the central design problem for contingent capital, and the optimal design of a trigger that converts debt into equity remains unclear.
  > The efficient calibration of triggering events is central to the design of contingent capital. The optimal design for a trigger event that converts debt into equity is unclear.

**2026**

- [6244278-036](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/6244278-036) [mechanism/argued] -- What emerges in Phase I is not identity, ethics, or stewardship but the internalization of cost: for the first time an AI agent's future is shaped by the quality of its past, and its behavioral signature is calibration.
  > What emerges in Phase I is not yet identity, ethics, or stewardship. It is something more primitive but equally essential: the internalization of cost. For the first time, an AI agent's future is shaped by the quality of its past.

- [6607458-013](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/6607458-013) [definitional/argued] -- Possibility-space quality is captured by four functionals, coverage, precision, robustness, and calibration, and value in Computative Economics derives from their composite rather than from any single dimension.
  > Calibration measures the alignment between the generation function's internal quality estimates and verified external performance. Value in Computative Economics derives from the composite of these dimensions rather than from any single one.
