Description
Record a supplied dependence link between testimony sources.
Evidence records distinguish claims, source origins, confidence labels, logical scope and access status. Repeated citations may share an origin rather than provide independent support; an unknown origin is not proof of independence. A recorded support or witness link does not establish entailment, truth or a valid inference.
Record a supplied dependence link between testimony sources.
When to use this tool
Use Testimonial Dependence Source Pair when checking the stated evidence, source, confidence or logical-label convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter firstSourceId, secondSourceId, dependenceSource. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read token. Use the output convention below.
Require nonempty two source IDs and dependence source. Encode the ordered triple as JSON text.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| firstSourceId | First Source Id | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| secondSourceId | Second Source Id | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| dependenceSource | Dependence Source | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| token | JSON-encoded ordered tuple or literal token under the convention above; not a database lookup or authentication result. | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
{
"input": {
"firstSourceId": "S17",
"secondSourceId": "S18",
"dependenceSource": "shared interview I4"
},
"output": {
"token": "[\"S17\",\"S18\",\"shared interview I4\"]"
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- Dependence is an asserted relation, not inferred from evidence, citation networks or source reliability.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Inspect original evidence and use appropriate complete logical/statistical analysis, preserving uncertainty, provenance and applicable access/reuse permissions.
