Transparency
Data Provenance
Provenance answers 'where does this come from?'. Each scientific statement can carry its evidence, primary and secondary sources, review, and full change history.
Typed, never hardcoded
Provenance is a typed record linked to an entity (and optionally a relationship). The registry ships empty — records are added only when backed by real, verified sources.
Integrity
Validation rejects duplicate provenance ids, missing evidence levels, scientific facts without a source placeholder, interpretive facts marked scientific, and broken citation, version, or provenance references.
