== General MoA Domain Principle ==

The Metrology of the Abstract does not replace domains.  
It calibrates conceptual instruments used within domains.

A calibrated instrument is not a different instrument.  
It is the same instrument with improved alignment to its intended purpose, reduced uncertainty, increased traceability, and improved reliability.

Therefore:

* Calibrated Legal Law remains Legal Law
* Calibrated Medicine remains Medicine
* Calibrated Economics remains Economics
* Calibrated Philosophy remains Philosophy
* Calibrated Science remains Science
* Calibrated dictionary definitions remain dictionary definitions

The discipline does not absorb the domains it calibrates.  
It does not place itself above them.  
It provides an independent, transparent, traceable calibration process that domain authorities may inspect and consider.

=== Calibration Report ===

A Calibration Report documents the calibration activity. It may include:

* The conceptual instrument being examined
* Its stated identity and intended purpose
* Its original calibrated scope
* The observed usage or operational condition
* The suspected form of Semantic Drift
* The evidence examined
* The underlying mechanism
* Observable consequences
* Scope boundaries
* Exceptions
* Parent and Child Instrument relationships
* Sources of ambiguity
* Sources of uncertainty
* Known failure modes
* Conflicting evidence
* Calibration limitations
* Unresolved [[Calibration Debt]]
* The current calibration position

A Calibration Report does not command change.  
It makes the calibration process inspectable.

It allows another person, institution, domain expert, or governing body to examine:

* What was measured
* How it was measured
* Which standards were applied
* What evidence was used
* What uncertainty remains
* How the conclusion was reached

A conclusion without a traceable Calibration Report is not sufficient for MoA calibration.

=== Calibration Recommendation ===

The Metrology of the Abstract does not issue ordinary recommendations.  
It issues '''Calibration Recommendations'''.

A Calibration Recommendation is an advisory output derived from:

* Published calibration standards
* A documented calibration procedure
* Observable evidence
* Declared uncertainty
* Traceable reasoning
* A supporting Calibration Report

A Calibration Recommendation may recommend:

* Preserve the existing definition
* Clarify the existing scope
* Document an explicit exception
* Remove an unsupported extension
* Create a calibrated Child Instrument
* Recalibrate the Parent Instrument
* Preserve the current Parent–Child relationship
* Recommend Standalone Promotion
* Conduct further calibration before taking a position

A Calibration Recommendation does not:

* Create law
* Amend law
* Interpret law with binding authority
* Create policy
* Enforce policy
* Replace a governing body
* Compel adoption
* Claim jurisdiction over the calibrated domain

Authority remains with the appropriate domain authority.

The MoA position is limited to the following:

<blockquote>
According to the declared calibration standards, documented evidence, known uncertainty, and supporting Calibration Report, this Calibration Recommendation would reduce ambiguity, improve traceability, preserve intended identity, or improve alignment to reality.
</blockquote>
