F.1:4.3 - The SourceCutNote

The note’s exact EntityOfConcern is the independently identified receiving question from Step 1. It is not the note, its file or one-screen form, the retained-source list, or a question-and-use bundle. The intended use remains part of what the note claims. Name the effective ReferenceScheme explicitly and make sure it resolves the question, every exact source-edition reference, and every answer-changing role statement. If either the question or scheme is unresolved, return that gap and keep the text as an ordinary working note.

Its ClaimGraph states:

• the receiving question and intended use;
• every retained source and exact edition;
• the answer-changing role of each retained source;
• for a SoTA-supporting cut, each retained source’s plain role and any unresolved rival, counterexample, or synthesis gap;
• deliberate exclusions and their reasons;
• known limits and load-bearing source gaps;
• the distinction between designed and performed material when it affects the answer; and
• the conditions that reopen the cut.

A one-screen source note is a compact representation of the same episteme when it carries the same claims. If its ClaimGraph differs, it is another C.2.1 episteme rather than a second F.1 result kind. A short form does not establish source truth, adequacy, or local meaning.
