Formal chronology laboratory

Contradiction and Consistency Engine

Audit the complete project knowledge graph, discover candidate discrepancies, enumerate distinct conflict cores, calculate global repairs, and trace every conclusion back through events, claims, models, and sources.

Diagnosis

Model overview

Internal consistency, evidence coverage, and explanatory cost are reported independently.

Interpretive guardrail

Consistency is not confirmation

A reconstruction may be internally consistent and still poorly supported. Conversely, a model can contain substantial evidence yet remain impossible because one hard contradiction survives.

Whole-project status

Project Consistency Dashboard

Separate counts expose declared coverage, active contradictions, review candidates, evidence coverage, and rule governance without compressing them into a single score.

Quick Checker

Set the project’s major disputed propositions without opening the complete claim catalog.

Claim-level control

Assumption Studio

Each proposition can be accepted, rejected, or left undetermined. Uncertainty is not silently converted into rejection.

Exact chronology

Timeline Constraints

Dates use astronomical year numbering internally: year 0 is 1 BCE, year −1 is 2 BCE, and year −1445 is 1446 BCE.

Minimal unsatisfiable cores

Contradiction Sets

The engine removes supersets so each displayed set contains only claims necessary for that conflict.

All findings

Minimal change analysis

Repair Laboratory

Repairs are ranked first by number of changed claims and then by declared explanatory cost.

Explainable reasoning

Derivations and “Why Not?”

Inspect every rule, including satisfied, violated, underdetermined, inactive, and out-of-scope rules.

Select a rule to inspect its activation condition, constraint, provenance, and result.

Dependency structure

Active knowledge graph

Accepted propositions and their active dependency paths are emphasized. Cycles are reported as circularity failures.

Select a graph node to inspect its evidence and downstream dependencies.

Canonical project graph

Project-Wide Knowledge Graph

Explore source, project-claim, event, formal-claim, and model relationships imported from the canonical datasets.

Select a node to inspect its incoming and outgoing relationships.

Symmetrical testing

Model Comparison

Every built-in model is processed by the same rule set; no model receives an automatic coherence bonus.

Evidence and Sources

Evidence coverage is separate from logical consistency and repeated arguments are not automatically treated as independent confirmation.

Repository integrity

Project-Wide Audit

Scans event, claim, source, model, and legacy-rule records for structural inconsistencies and unreachable rules.

Automated review prompts

Candidate Contradiction Discovery

Lexical, chronological, structural, and model differences are surfaced for human review. Candidates are never promoted automatically to hard contradictions.

Complete conflict structure

Distinct Conflict Cores and Global Repairs

Enumerate materially distinct minimal unsatisfiable cores, measure overlap, and find repairs that resolve every active core rather than one conflict at a time.

Not yet calculated.

Conclusion provenance

Conclusion and Dependency Trace

Ask why a conclusion appears, which source paths support it, what depends on it, and which single changes would make it disappear.

Incoming derivation paths

Rule lifecycle

Rule Governance and Schema Compatibility

Generated and authored rules retain lifecycle status, authority, scope, provenance, and version metadata so future revisions cannot silently change conclusions.

Reproducibility

Methods and Export

Every report records the active states, date intervals, conflicts, tensions, and repair sets.

Reasoning method

  1. Resolve four-state proposition commitments without logical explosion.
  2. Normalize legacy and declarative nested rules with explicit scope and authority.
  3. Propagate the complete temporal network until stable or contradictory.
  4. Evaluate logical, temporal, model, evidential, and circularity diagnoses separately.
  5. Compute bounded minimal unsatisfiable subsets and minimal correction sets.
  6. Generate state, date, model, and user-rule repair candidates.
  7. Record derivations, inactive-rule explanations, evidence independence, and reproducibility metadata.
