Frozen Baseline discipline. Material changes only.
Version 1.0
Published: 2026-08-28
- Initial structural baseline publication.
- Definition of epistemic uncertainty established as uncertainty arising from limitations in available knowledge about a represented system, model, parameter, hypothesis, relationship, prediction, or state.
- Scope boundaries formalized (included / excluded).
- Structural model introduced (knowledge state → knowledge limitation → uncertainty object → uncertainty representation).
- Structural components introduced (knowledge state, knowledge limitation, uncertainty object, uncertainty representation).
- Foundational distinction, uncertainty-quantification sources, and related decision context documented.
- Distinction between epistemic uncertainty and variability treated as inherent in the represented process documented.
- Source architecture standardized to Institution → Work → Year → Reference format.
- Mandatory legal, privacy, terms, and license pages implemented.
Status: Frozen Baseline
Change Policy
Changes are recorded only if:
- The definitional boundary materially evolves.
- A structural clarification alters conceptual framing.
- Primary institutional reference frameworks materially change.
- A compliance-relevant correction is required for accuracy.
Minor editorial, stylistic, or formatting corrections are not versioned.
Versioning Logic
Version increments follow semantic clarity rules:
- Major increment — Definitional or structural shift.
- Minor increment — Material clarification without conceptual shift.
- No increment — Editorial refinement only.
