Calibration Model Dimension
Joy should be tested because any experience strong enough to guide action is strong enough to mislead if it is exempted from criterion, telos, and calibration.
Joy belongs inside discernment, not above it.
When a positive experience is treated as self-validating, it becomes harder to ask what standard governs it, what end it serves, and what consequence confirms it.
The stronger the signal, the more carefully it should be interpreted.
