Twoledger
Adopt a perspective for what it opens, and check its claims on a separate ledger
Definition
Mechanism
When a perspective is chosen for the questions, options or moves it opens, that reason is recorded as its yield. Every claim the perspective makes is entered separately, at the assurance it has earned through its own Check, graded as in EpistemicCascade. Adopting the perspective, working inside it, and the value of what it opened never raise the assurance of its claims. A perspective may be kept for its yield while some of its claims stand falsified.
Invariants
- The record of adopting the perspective names what it opens.
- Each claim of the perspective carries its own assurance, changed only by checks of that claim.
- The perspective's yield is never counted as evidence for its claims.
Risks
Failure modes
Fruitfulness laundering
claims are believed because the perspective that makes them has been productive.
Premature dismissal
a productive perspective is dropped because one of its claims failed.
Spent yield
the perspective is kept by habit after what it opened has been used up.

Side-effect-free observational verification yielding Verified/Falsified/Unknown
A conclusion inherits the verification assurance of its weakest load-bearing premise.
Nothing in this library builds on this pattern yet.
