Definition (Canonical — Definition of Record)
EntityWorks Analytics is the analytical layer concerned with observing, examining, and describing representational behaviour over time within the scope of the EntityWorks Standard.
This definition is authoritative and governs all use of the term EntityWorks Analytics within the EntityWorks Standard. Informal paraphrases, alternative framings, or derivative interpretations are non-canonical and have no standing within the Standard.
Purpose
To support longitudinal analysis of representational stability, fidelity, and interpretive conditions.
Scope
EntityWorks Analytics applies across analytical, evaluative, and diagnostic constructs defined within the EntityWorks Standard.
It applies only as formulated within that framework and does not assert applicability beyond it.
Conceptual Domain
EntityWorks Analytics operates within the discipline of AI Perception and functions as the Standard’s interpretive observation layer.
Its concern is making machine-side representational reality legible over time, without attempting to control or optimise it.
Role Within the EntityWorks Standard
Within the EntityWorks Standard, EntityWorks Analytics occupies the analytical layer.
It operates downstream of:
- ontology (what exists),
- evaluation (how effectively it is expressed),
- diagnostics (what can fail),
- conformance (whether requirements are met).
Analytics introduces no new structures, criteria, or thresholds.
Its role is to observe, contextualise, and reason about representational conditions that emerge from the operation of the Standard as a whole.
Non-Canonical Uses (Explicit Exclusions)
EntityWorks Analytics is not:
- an optimisation or tuning framework
- a prescriptive or control mechanism
- a system-behaviour specification
- a disclosure of implementation detail
- a certification, compliance, or enforcement mechanism
Uses of the term that imply these functions are non-canonical.
Relationships to Other Standard Components
EntityWorks Analytics operates in relation to:
- EntityWorks Standard — governing framework
- Entity Discoverability Index (EDI) — evaluative component whose outcomes may be analysed over time
- Entity Understanding Layer (EUL) — interpretive architecture within which representational behaviour is observed
Analytics does not replace or subsume these components; it examines their effects over time.
