ClassificationReview
Re-check a classification of agents who can learn of it, because being classified may change them
Definition
Mechanism
When a Category is applied to agents who can learn how they were classified, such as people, teams or models, the classification states when and how its fit will be re-checked against the members' current behaviour. A re-check that finds members changed toward or away from the label records that the label itself may have caused the change.
Invariants
- A classification of agents who can learn of it states when and how its fit is re-checked.
- Re-checks compare members' current behaviour with the classification's criteria, not with their behaviour when first classified.
Risks
Failure modes
Looping drift
members change in response to the label and the label stops fitting.
Self-fulfilment
members conform to the label, and the conformity is taken as confirmation.
