**Status.** derived

This node is assembled mechanically from the 4 claims that carry the concept tag `quality-metrics`. 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.

- [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.

- [6655138-011](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/6655138-011) [failure/argued] *(failure mode)* -- Without a representation of the possibility space distinct from the current mempool of pending instances, no quality metric can be computed, and without quality metrics generation can be rewarded only for quantity and not for quality.
  > Without that representation, no quality metric can be computed, and without quality metrics, generation cannot be rewarded for quality, only for quantity.

- [6655138-012](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/6655138-012) [failure/argued] *(failure mode)* -- An architecture with generative surfaces and reward channels but only single-timescale resolution implements generation without being able to improve it, and an architecture with multi-timescale resolution but no quality-metric representation can reward generation but cannot reward good generation.
  > An architecture with G surfaces and reward channels but only single-timescale resolution implements generation but cannot improve generation. An architecture with multi-timescale resolution but no quality-metric representation can reward generation but cannot reward good generation.

- [6655138-042](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/6655138-042) [mechanism/argued] *(failure mode)* -- In a multi-loop reputation economy the shared resource is the joint possibility space, which is non-rivalrous, so the governance threat is not exhaustion but degradation: coverage, fidelity, or novelty can fall without any individual surface running out.
  > The shared resource is the joint possibility space, which is non-rivalrous in the sense that one agent's use does not deplete the space for others. The threat is not exhaustion but degradation
