Primes¶
- Falsifiability
- Law and evidence: An alibi or an exculpatory forensic match can disprove a charge outright, whereas accumulating circumstantial support never yields logical certainty of guilt; this is why standards of proof and the presumption of innocence are structured around what the prosecution must fail to be defeated by rather than what would positively close the question.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
