Object relatedness (“objectivity” for short) is the extent to which the conveyed
information is about the property under measurement and nothing else. According
to the model we have presented, the problem of objectivity of measurement and its
results is threefold.
First, considering definitional uncertainty, empirical properties are interrelated
because they are mutually dependent, so that the measurand depends on other properties (the affecting properties, as discussed in Sect. 7.2.2). Since the information
