Editing How We Calibrate Words (section)

== Two layers. Same family. Different jobs. ==

Natural-language definitions are treated as '''instruments''', not slogans. They are calibrated in two complementary stages:

# '''Seed Compiler''' — makes the term's internal mechanism explicit and machine-checkable.
# '''Abstract Definition Mechanics (ADM)''' — calibrates that mechanism as a '''map of a domain''' (fit, gaps, neighbors, standing, and reality alignment).

Together these form the foundation of the '''Metrology of the Abstract'''—combining compiler discipline with metrology to produce inspectable, reusable abstract instruments.

*'''Seed Compiler''' makes the definition's mechanism explicit.

*'''ADM''' calibrates how well that mechanism performs its stated job as a map of reality.

| '''Abstract Instrument'''
| '''Gauge Block'''

| '''Seed Compiler'''
| Characterizes the gauge block itself (its internal mechanism).
|-
| '''ADM'''
| Evaluates whether that gauge block is fit for its '''intended use as a measuring instrument''' (performs its stated job under test).

| '''Result'''
| A reference-grade instrument that can be used to calibrate further instruments—'''within its known limits, standing, and residual uncertainty'''.

'''Compiler maps the instrument. ADM pressures the job. The certificate states limits — the block does not become the SI.'''
