SOURCE INDEPENDENCE · 90-SECOND EXPLAINER

Six claims.
Three actual sources.

Ordinary logs count what agents said. Minority Prophet preserves every claim, then reconstructs where the evidence actually came from.

03 / THE BOUNDARY

Reconstruction is not
authorization.

The graph can show that four agreeing agents represent only two supporting roots. It cannot prove the minority correct, determine policy, or grant permission to act.

01

Preserve

Keep all six claims and all six actors visible.

02

Trace

Follow copies and summaries back to their recorded origins.

03

Recount

Count distinguishable source families instead of repetitions.

04

Escalate

Let separate policy decide whether more evidence is required.
