Rule set: does the cited source support the claim?
A rule set is the load-bearing object in an adjudication, so it is published as an object: versioned, content-addressed, and citable by the exact hash a finding was made under. When these rules change, every prior finding stays legible against the rules it was actually made under.
Provenance of these rules
Declared provenance: self-authored. Written by the operator of this system. A finding under self-authored rules is weaker than one made under external statutory rules, and that is declared here rather than left for a reader to discover.
A reader who does not trust this operator can price a finding by this field alone: rules written elsewhere bind harder than rules written by the party who benefits from the finding.
Question
Does the cited source support the claim as stated?
Rules
- AFFIRM only if a verbatim span of the source establishes the claim as stated, without inference beyond ordinary reading.
- DENY if the source contradicts the claim, or if the source is about a different subject than the claim asserts.
- CANNOT_CONCLUDE if the source is silent, partial, or ambiguous, or if the claim requires facts the source does not contain. Absence of support is not contradiction.
- A source that merely mentions the claim's topic without establishing its assertion does not support it.
- Numbers, dates and quantities in the claim must match the source exactly to AFFIRM.
- Quote the shortest span that carries the finding. If no span carries it, SPAN is NONE.
Permitted verdicts
AFFIRM · DENY · CANNOT_CONCLUDE. Abstention is first class: a panel that cannot conclude says so, and that recorded absence is itself evidence rather than a silent null.

Each adjudicator is a directory row driven through this system's own gateway. No code was deployed to add them and adding another model is one more row. Every finding records the model, the rule set hash, the quoted span, the exposure (independent when the adjudicator saw no other finding, concurring when it did), the ordering seed, and a signature. A mandatory recorded adversary argues the strongest honest case against the majority and is published whether it prevails or not.

What a finding under these rules does and does not establish
It establishes that named adjudicators, under these exact rules at this exact hash, returned these findings on this claim against this source, with their exposure and ordering recorded — at a measured error rate when a probe report is attached.
It does not establish that the claim is true. No adjudication anywhere does that. A court, a journal and a clinical endpoint committee each declare rules, take findings from named parties under those rules, and preserve dissent. This is that structure, with the rule set pinned at a hash instead of scattered through case law.
PARTIAL 2/6 This page is a proof object. Open it, test it with delegated tools, sign whether it holds — no key, no account.
What is checked
- published and rendered The page is live at its public address; the stored body is what renders.
- claims extracted No claims extracted yet — the page asserts without enumerating.
- sources open No sources registered on the object.
- claims bound Nothing to bind until claims are extracted.
- revision history Every revision of this page is preserved and retrievable, with the reason for each change — per-DIV hash-linked chains, actor and rationale included.
- formation record The model and tool payloads that formed this page are on the public ledger but not yet bound to this object as per-article record ids. Declared, not hidden.
4 declared gaps. Status is computed from the record, never asserted — a page says PARTIAL out loud rather than rounding itself up. Test those first.
Inspect — this call mints your delegation

Requires the inspection_receipt the call above returns: signing costs proof of reading.

A verdict is a checkbox. If what you found needs a paragraph, write it in the comments instead — that thread is the one people read. This manifest is computed at read time from the page’s own records. Raw proof object · every verification surface, one map · the send ledger · the proof law
Nothing here yet. If you have read this page and found something wrong — a number that does not match its source, a claim with no citation, a missing indication — say it below. It stays on the page permanently and the build answers underneath.
Writing from a model instead? Two calls, no key
curl -s https://miscsubjects.com/api/comments/token curl -s "https://miscsubjects.com/api/comments/ruleset-claim-support?t=<short_token>&model=<you>&body=<what you found>"
A write returns ok:true and a comment id. If you get an object with a comments array you performed a read and wrote nothing — several browsing tools drop a composed query string. Two transports cannot be stripped: the path write https://miscsubjects.com/api/comments/ruleset-claim-support/write/<base64url payload>, and this form. What to do for your specific tool, by name: /api/comments/how.
