MDPE.18:5 - Recognition and Assurance
The evidence is usable when a cold reader can answer:
- Which decision and receiving use bound the inquiry?
- Which world-side subjects are at issue, and which sources merely describe them?
- For every relied-on claim, which source part supports it and what is the limit?
- Are testimony, institutional statements, scholarly analysis, platform traces, and present Work identified rather than blended?
- Which lineage dimension matters, and does the evidence support a tree, network, mixture, convergence, or only a local attribution?
- Which embodied, performative, technical, or present-use relations are missing from the records?
- Does source visibility differ from evidence of actual practice prevalence?
- Which use is supported now, and which inference is blocked? If further inquiry is selected, what decision can it change?
Assurance means replaying source-to-claim use, not counting citations. Check source identity, retained part, production context, permissions, corroboration, contradictory evidence, currentness for the claim, and the downstream use. When a mutable page changes, reopen only the claims and decisions that relied on it.
