Primes

• Reality Monitoring
  • Cognitive science (origin) — the source-monitoring framework distinguishing memories of perceived events from imagined ones, and the systematic errors when the discrimination fails. Generative-AI safety — distinguishing retrieved factual claims from parametric hallucinations; retrieval-augmented architectures are essentially reality-monitoring systems that tag generations with source metadata.

    This sourceIntroduces retrieval-augmented generation, separating retrieved grounded claims from parametric model output.

Domain-specific

• Nearest neighbor search
  • … and a convenient observable transfers from A canonical case directly satisfies that returned neighbors meet the exact or stated approximate distance guarantee under the same representation and metric. to An applied case preserves the same condition while changing incidental scale, notation, or implementation..
• Retrieval-augmented generation
  • Ordinary search ends with ranked records; ordinary generation need not consult external records; a prompt containing manually pasted text is context provision but not necessarily a maintained retrieval architecture.

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. Neither this nor any other of the 3 citations of this work carries a 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.
