# G30 Contradiction, uncertainty, and dispute graph

## Question

Which assertions conflict, and what prevents a confident conclusion?

## Nodes

Claim; Conflicting claim; Scope; Evidence; Resolution decision

## Relationship sketch

* claim → conflicts with claim
* resolution → supporting scope/evidence

## Evidence inputs

Contradictory source statements, version/time differences, identity uncertainty, reviewer reasoning.

## Implementation

Check whether apparent disagreements concern different dates, scopes, or entities before declaring contradiction. Retain unresolved alternatives and block their promotion into public facts.

## Acceptance checks

* Conflicts remain inspectable after a preferred answer is chosen
* Scope/date distinctions are recorded
* Unresolved critical facts block dependent publication

## Do not infer

A majority of copied statements is not a reliable conflict resolution rule.

## Publication boundary

Public corrections where appropriate; sensitive disputes private.
