F.1:4.1 - Minimal vocabulary

  • Exact source and edition. The identified publication, canon, corpus, practice source, or other claim-bearing basis being considered.
  • Receiving question and use. What needs an answer and what that answer will serve. A plain concern can start finding. For source selection, independently identify the exact question that the selection claims concern; it is the SourceCutNote’s EntityOfConcern, while the intended use remains claim content.
  • Candidate material. A passage or other source content that can be inspected for a contribution to the question. A source address without accessible content remains a lead.
  • Query variant. Words tried to reach material for the same original question; any added interpretation is a hypothesis, not a replacement question.
  • Answer-changing role. The inspected claim, limit, rival explanation, counterexample, transfer condition, material non-fit, or other stated contribution by which a source can change the answer.
  • Source cut. The finite set of sources retained for that question and use.
  • SourceCutNote. One C.2.1 episteme identified by its source-selection ClaimGraph, the exact receiving question as EntityOfConcern, and the named effective ReferenceScheme under which that question, source editions, and role claims are read.
  • Domain family. An informative discovery label, such as workflow, provenance, services, sensing, types, or control. It carries no semantics and cannot admit, merge, or replace a source.
  • Local search policy. An optional named way to prioritize candidate inspection using search terms, descriptors, citations, embeddings, distances, active learning, or portfolio readings. Its output is attention guidance, not a source-selection verdict.

Source selection, source identity, source-local meaning, source truth, source adequacy, cross-source relation, synthesis, reliance, and assurance are separate questions.
