Six-axis evaluator type⟨C, Ψ, M, Z, R, U⟩

The tuple ⟨C, Ψ, M, Z, R, U⟩ — construct, specification, mechanism, signal, resolution, use — that describes an evaluator by its value on every axis instead of a single noun. The framework distributes it across E_sys.

Also called: evaluator type system, six axes

Defined in

Handbook · FoundationsVocabulary without category errorsReward model, rubric, PRM, RLHF, verifier: put each term on the axis it actually describes and most confusions disappear.
Evaluator system
The complete arrangement by which a claim is operationalized, measured, consumed, and maintained: E_sys = (C, I, R, V, L). A mechanism is only one part of it.
Evaluator construction stack
How an evaluation is built: construct, specification, mechanism, signal, and use, with resolution and deployment context cutting across. It records how the evaluator was engineered, a separate question from the verification hierarchy's evidential strength.
