scores:
- name: definition_precision
  value: 1.0
  max_value: 5.0
  rationale: There is no definition provided at all, making this entity completely
    imprecise. Without any definitional content, it's impossible to assess whether
    the concept is distinct or merely a vague umbrella term.
- name: source_grounding
  value: 1.0
  max_value: 5.0
  rationale: With no definition, context, or source chapter specified, there's no
    evidence this entity is grounded in Smith's actual text. The term "systemic stability"
    appears to be a modern analytical overlay rather than a concept Smith explicitly
    discussed.
- name: domain_placement
  value: 1.0
  max_value: 5.0
  rationale: The domain is listed as "unspecified," indicating no clear economic or
    thematic categorization has been established. Without definition or context, proper
    domain placement is impossible to assess or correct.
- name: vsm_relevance
  value: 2.0
  max_value: 5.0
  rationale: While "systemic stability" could theoretically relate to VSM concepts
    (particularly S2's anti-oscillation function or S3's regulatory role), the complete
    lack of definition makes any VSM mapping purely speculative. The term is too abstract
    and undefined to meaningfully place within the VSM framework.
- name: explanatory_value
  value: 1.0
  max_value: 5.0
  rationale: An undefined entity provides zero explanatory power and illuminates no
    mechanisms or structural relations. Without content, it cannot distinguish between
    genuine systemic mechanisms and surface-level naming of phenomena.

# Evaluation: Systemic Stability

## definition_precision — 1.0 / 5.0

There is no definition provided at all, making this entity completely imprecise. Without any definitional content, it's impossible to assess whether the concept is distinct or merely a vague umbrella term.

## source_grounding — 1.0 / 5.0

With no definition, context, or source chapter specified, there's no evidence this entity is grounded in Smith's actual text. The term "systemic stability" appears to be a modern analytical overlay rather than a concept Smith explicitly discussed.

## domain_placement — 1.0 / 5.0

The domain is listed as "unspecified," indicating no clear economic or thematic categorization has been established. Without definition or context, proper domain placement is impossible to assess or correct.

## vsm_relevance — 2.0 / 5.0

While "systemic stability" could theoretically relate to VSM concepts (particularly S2's anti-oscillation function or S3's regulatory role), the complete lack of definition makes any VSM mapping purely speculative. The term is too abstract and undefined to meaningfully place within the VSM framework.

## explanatory_value — 1.0 / 5.0

An undefined entity provides zero explanatory power and illuminates no mechanisms or structural relations. Without content, it cannot distinguish between genuine systemic mechanisms and surface-level naming of phenomena.
