Question§

What supports a particular assertion, and where did that support originate?

Nodes§

Claim; Evidence; Source version; Extraction activity; Reviewer

Relationship sketch§

  • claim → supported/contradicted by evidence
  • evidence → source version
  • derived artifact → source activity

Evidence inputs§

Exact assertion scope, original source locator, observation date, evidence class, and review decision.

Implementation§

Make claims first class records. Preserve source chains and ownership/independence labels. A summary derived from a source is not a new independent source.

Acceptance checks§

  • Every published material assertion has a source or labeled basis
  • Conflicting evidence remains attached
  • Unsupported assertions cannot pass the publication readiness check

Do not infer§

Five copies of the same claim do not constitute five independent confirmations.

Publication boundary§

Publish safe citations, not secrets, client messages, or restricted originals.

Source basis§

S14, S16. See Research/sources.json. Sources support the primitives or named technology. The organization, labels, actions, and acceptance contracts in this catalog are this library's design, not claimed provider requirements.
