Used byCLAIM-117 — Pragmatic fidelity requires preserving the dynamics of interpretation, not only final judgements: a good transport approximately intertwines source and target framing operations under a correspondence anchored to independently measured distinctions, CLAIM-055 — The pragmatic identity of an utterance is partly constituted by the context-dependent transformations it induces, so pragmatic fidelity is an approximate structure-preserving correspondence between source and target dynamics, CLAIM-253 — The intertwining defects are defined on unobservable interpretive-state spaces, so they are not identified from judgement data, and the commutator identity bounds observed order effects only with a further, unstated readout-intertwining defect

Definition

A30: “pragmatic equivalence between translations may need to preserve not just distributions of final judgments but the dynamics of interpretation”, a “commuting diagram for pragmatic fidelity”: T_τ(f) Φ ≈ Φ T_f, where Φ maps source interpretive states to target ones. “interpretive operations may fail to commute with each other, while a good translation should preserve the structure of those operations across contexts.”

What it is not

Not a replacement for TERM-021: A30 calls it “a considerably richer notion of fidelity”, a further requirement. It uses the operator sense of frame (TERM-026).
