Editing Semantic Drift (section)

== Design Sketch 1 ==

'''Purpose'''

Develop an initial diagnostic taxonomy for Semantic Drift.

'''Note'''

Calibration is not transformation, reinvention, or "becoming a new thing."

Calibration is bringing a conceptual instrument back into alignment with reality so that its intended function remains trustworthy.
