A.10:2 - Problem

Source-backed reasoning fails in recurring ways:

  1. the relied-on claim is not named;
  2. a carrier or publication face is substituted for the claim it represents;
  3. a method description, plan, signature, or stored reference is substituted for actual work and bindings;
  4. a local domain result is replaced by a generic evidence or result field;
  5. provenance, currentness, reliance, assurance, and authorization are collapsed; or
  6. a graph edge is asserted before the direct source, work, production, representation, participation, or use relation is known to obtain.

The practical effect is false authority and unreplayable decisions: a badge looks like permission, a dashboard looks like a gate decision, or a model output looks like an accepted conclusion.
