Methane-Oxygen Disequilibrium Coexistence Flag Scorer
Methane/oxygen coexistence premise audit, not a quantified thermodynamic disequilibrium, biological source or proof of life. Independently established feature columns: methane detection independently established, oxygen detection independently established, co-temporal/co-spatial compatibility independently established. Unknown evidence and overlapping candidates retained; not semantic parsing, identity, causation, diagnosis, lawfulness, authenticity or safety determination.
Description
Methane and oxygen coexistence requires compatible observations in time and space.
Methane and oxygen coexistence requires compatible observations in time and space.1
Coexistence evidence alone does not quantify disequilibrium or establish biological production. Use this tool to compare independently annotated known features with fixed candidate rules.
When to use Methane-Oxygen Disequilibrium Coexistence Flag Scorer
Use this tool to compare independently annotated known features with fixed candidate rules. Establish the observation or experimental context, reference/calibration source, unit basis and adopted model assumptions.
How to use Methane-Oxygen Disequilibrium Coexistence Flag Scorer and understand its results
- Establish the observation or experimental context, reference/calibration source, unit basis and adopted model assumptions.
- Enter observedFeatureFlags, featureKnownFlags, using the field meanings and rules below, then run the tool.
- Read result.compatibleClasses, result.witnessedClasses, result.unknownFeatureIndices. Interpret each field using the units, signs and evidence rules below.
- If input validation fails, correct the reported field and run again. Before applying a successful result, check the stated reference scope, units, assumptions and any retained unknown evidence.
| Input field | Meaning | Value type | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| observedFeatureFlags | Observed feature flags; binary 0/1 in the order documented below | list of number | Required |
| featureKnownFlags | Feature known flags; 1 means known and 0 means unknown; keep the same item order | list of number | Required |
Enter binary observed and known flags in the exact column order below. A known mismatch with a constrained rule excludes a candidate; unknown constrained evidence leaves it compatible but prevents full witnessing. A −1 rule ignores that column, including unknown evidence there. Return all compatible and witnessed candidates and zero-based unknown indices, preserving overlap. The comparison records supplied evidence without inferring facts, identity, diagnosis or legal status.
| Zero-based column | Observed feature |
|---|---|
| 0 | Methane detection independently established |
| 1 | Oxygen detection independently established |
| 2 | Co-temporal/co-spatial compatibility independently established |
| Candidate | Methane detection independently established | Oxygen detection independently established | Co-temporal/co-spatial compatibility independently established |
|---|---|---|---|
| coexistence-evidence-review | Known present (1) | Known present (1) | Known present (1) |
compatible_c=no known constrained mismatch; witnessed_c=all constrained features known and matching; ignored columns impose no condition Apply the field units and exact ordering, boundary and evidence rules above.
| Output field | Meaning | Value type |
|---|---|---|
| result | Structured result containing the calculation or selected reference fields below | object |
| result.compatibleClasses | All candidates consistent with known features; may include candidates with missing evidence | list of string |
| result.witnessedClasses | Candidates with all required feature constraints actually known and satisfied | list of string |
| result.unknownFeatureIndices | Zero-based positions of unknown features | list of values |

}Limitations and assumptions
Feature and criterion flags are independent annotations. Unknown evidence remains unknown; matching rules do not establish a diagnosis, cause, prediction or approval.
Every listed input requires an explicit value. Unexpected fields, incorrect value types, nonfinite numbers and sparse numeric arrays fail validation; tool-specific bounds and alignment rules apply as described above. Extremely large inputs or outputs can also be rejected. An input error is distinct from a successful calculation that reports a false comparison or retains unknown evidence.
