Your definitions of types have the potential to mostly make sense.
I am not very satisfied with all the definitions I gave in my previous post: basically my goal was only to define what a sente position is. I added the definition of gote position and ambiguous position in order to try and imitate your approach but it is not a good idea because my notion of sente is different from yours.
So please note the following update (without the definition of an ambiguous position) :
What is the status of a position P?
Assume P is put into a rich environment at a high temperature (any local move in P would be a mistake at this temperature).
If you can play a game without mistakes, in which the first move in P is a black (resp. white) move leading to a sente sequence, then the position P is called a black (resp. white) sente position.
A position which is both a black sente position and a white sente position is called a double sente position.
If a position is neither a sente position nor a leaf position then this position a gote position

It seems understandable for me and I am sure you understand what I mean.

Define "mistake" or use a different concept.
A move made by a player is a mistake if she cannot reach the best result after this move.

- There must also be a type ("terminal" ?) when neither player has a legal local play.
I do not see any interest to define such position. Defining a leaf position would be more interesting. For me a leaf node is simply a node in which neither white nor black have an interest to play, even when the ambiant temperature is T = 0.

- You mix the meanings of the type of one player's move sequence(s) and the type of the position considering either starting player. Distinguish and possibly define them!
Done. After each "sente" word I added either "position" or "sequence"

No a double sente position is not a global notion but a local one.
