Evidence Dynamics consistency layer

ECL: Evidence Consistency Layer

Tests whether public claims and observations remain mutually reconcilable after time, scope, numerical, semantic and source-dependency normalization.

Role in system

Evidence Dynamics consistency layer. Positioned inside RDL -> RTP -> [Structural Dynamics -> MDL] + [Evidence Dynamics -> ECL] -> ECN.

METHOD PILOT

Field	Current public definition
Inputs	Normalized claims, observations, timestamps, numerical values, source-dependency records.
Outputs	Evidence state, audit matrix, ACH table, counter-evidence panel, limitations.
Core entities	Temporal consistency, numerical reconciliation, semantic consistency, structural consistency, ACH, source dependency.
State / lifecycle	Append-only publication with explicit correction and supersession visibility.
Rules	Temporal consistency, numerical reconciliation, semantic consistency, cross-source consistency, ACH and counter-evidence search.
Failure modes	Unsupported materiality claims, source-independence inflation, falsifier confusion, score substitution.
Relationship to other layers	RDL governs; RTP traces; Structural and Evidence tracks test different questions; ECN is future intake.
What it does NOT claim	Does not determine truth, legal liability, fraud, solvency or universal entity health.
