Description
Divide only when sourceKnown is true; otherwise return fraction zero and fractionDefined false.
Evidence bookkeeping records identifiers, reported methods, source editions, and supplied support flags. A complete-looking citation or matching record is different from evidence of a claim's validity.
Divide only when sourceKnown is true; otherwise return fraction zero and fractionDefined false.
When to use this tool
Use Historical Recipe Quote Fraction when you need a reproducible source or study-record consistency check.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter quotedParts, quotedTotalParts, sourceKnown. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read fractionDefined, fraction. Inspect fractionDefined before interpreting the associated values.
Require 0 ≤ quotedParts ≤ positive quotedTotalParts. Divide only when sourceKnown is true; otherwise return fraction zero and fractionDefined false.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| quotedParts | Quoted Parts | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| quotedTotalParts | Quoted Total Parts | Required. Finite number; strictly above 0. |
| sourceKnown | Source Known | Required. Boolean. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| fractionDefined | Fraction Defined | Required. Boolean. |
| fraction | Dimensionless fraction under the stated convention. | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- The unknown-source zero is a placeholder; historical proportions do not establish safe ingredients, dosage, or efficacy.
- 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.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Read the original report and compare methods, outcomes, provenance, and uncertainty before assessing an evidence claim.
