# ClassificationReview

Re-check a classification of agents who can learn of it, because being classified may change them

Layer: Mind · Category: Reasoning

## Mechanism

When a [Category](https://mindscape.world/scapes/bootstrap/Category.md) 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.

## 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.
