Description
Quote the text using JSON serialization and append source and locator.
An ethics record can document claims, responsibilities, disclosures, decisions, and supplied weights. A formatted label or arithmetic allocation does not resolve the ethical question or demonstrate that a process was fair.
Quote the text using JSON serialization and append source and locator.
When to use this tool
Use Public Reason Source Attribution when you need one explicit component of a documented ethical analysis.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter reasonText, source, locator. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read label. Use the output convention below.
Require nonempty reasonText, source, and locator. Quote the text using JSON serialization and append source and locator.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| reasonText | Reason Text | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| source | Supplied source label; not independently verified. | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| locator | Locator | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| label | Formatted label for the supplied components under the convention above. | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
{
"input": {
"reasonText": "Access should be equal",
"source": "Policy paper",
"locator": "§2"
},
"output": {
"label": "\"Access should be equal\" (Policy paper, §2)"
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- This is attribution formatting, not source verification, permission to quote, truth assessment, or a demonstration that the reason is publicly justified.
- 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
Review the complete context, affected perspectives, and decision process rather than treating the output as an ethical verdict.
