CORROB-UNTESTED |
The body (line 18) says it is "treated as corroboration", but convergence on a toolbox is not a test the policy could have failed. The body itself admits "shared engineering priors". |
evidenced-by: an independent project that also chose compiler-like tooling for knowledge management; a parallel design choice consistent with shared engineering priors, not a test of this policy (and soften line 18's "corroboration" to match) |

Toulmin argument (Purdue OWL, external) |
ORIGIN |
The phrase calls Toulmin "the theory behind what this note describes". The note maps Toulmin's model onto titles and link words, so the source is the origin. |
Ingest to kb/sources/ and use abstracted-from: Toulmin's claim/grounds/warrant model, which this note maps onto claim titles and link words. Interim: evidenced-by: supplies the argument model this note adapts; attribution, not a test |
| kb/notes/writing-styles-are-strategies-for-managing-underspecification.md:52 |
Toulmin Argument (Purdue OWL, external) |
ORIGIN |
This is a term attribution ("warrant originates from Toulmin"), not an observation. |
Same ingest route with abstracted-from. Interim: evidenced-by: source of the "warrant" concept the explanatory style borrows; attribution, not a test |
| kb/notes/two-context-boundaries-govern-collection-operations.md:70 |
reference/adr/003-connect-skill-discovery-strategy.md |
ORIGIN |
ADR 003 (2026-03-05) predates the note (2026-03-08). The body reads the index boundary out of ADR 003's scaling concern, and "exactly what happens" presents that origin as confirmation. |
abstracted-from: ADR 003's index-first connect strategy and its stated scaling limit, the case the index boundary generalizes |
| kb/notes/use-tests-a-decomposition-locally-rationale-makes-transfer-testable.md:52 |
Parnas 1972 (external PDF) |
ORIGIN |
The body calls KWIC "the clean demonstration", but the claim is built on this case, so the case cannot test it. External targets do not allow abstracted-from. |
Ingest and use abstracted-from: Parnas's two working KWIC modularizations that running cannot tell apart. Interim: evidenced-by: illustrates the claim with Parnas's two working KWIC modularizations; the claim was built from this case, so it does not test it |
| kb/notes/verification-needs-a-typed-target-before-it-needs-an-oracle.md:64 |
agentic-systems/reviews/exo.md |
ORIGIN |
The Exo review and the note were created the same day (2026-07-26). The body derives "checks landed exactly where there was a class" from Exo. |
abstracted-from: Exo, where every declared natural-language kind carries a check and every undeclared kind carries none |
| kb/notes/vibe-noting.md:44 |
notes/evidence/vibe-noting-trace-shows-persistence-enables-revision-not-certification.md |
ORIGIN |
The trace records the episode that produced this note's current claim ("behind this note's weak claim"). The target is a note, so abstracted-from is not allowed. |
evidenced-by: the Commonplace episode that produced this note's current weak claim; it illustrates the claim's revision path and does not test it |

ORIGIN |
This is the measurement the ceiling was chosen from, not a later test. evidenced-by to notes is also outside the reference contract. |
rests-on: the paired outcomes, repeat baseline, and reading demand the sixteen-artifact ceiling was chosen from |

ORIGIN |
This is the pre-decision measurement the ADR was built on. The destination is also not allowed for reference evidenced-by. |
rests-on: the paired outcomes, the uncapped arm's twenty-two-artifact reading, and the misattribution FAIL that motivated bounding on the artifact |
