Source provenance
Provenance records where a claim came from, when it was observed, and which transformations produced the presented form.
How it works
A provenance-aware system separates primary evidence, independent corroboration, dependent repetition, and the final citation used in an answer.
How to validate it
Persist claim, source URL, source type, publication time, extraction time, cited source, and selection rule as separate fields.
Common failure
Many pages repeating one unsupported claim are not many independent sources; counting them as consensus rewards propagation.
Machine-readable editions
The same article is available as Markdown and JSON. These alternates are linked here but are not submitted through the sitemap or IndexNow.
