OUT derived (depth 7)
The complete belief quality lifecycle — automated self-correction maintaining consistency, explicit review validating derived beliefs, and governed resilient egress controlling all output — forms an unbroken chain where quality is enforced at creation, validated during maintenance, and preserved through output.
Summary
The system's quality controls form an end-to-end pipeline covering every stage of a claim's life: consistency is maintained automatically when problems are detected, derived claims are independently reviewed for validity, and all output is governed and degradation-safe. This means no stage exists where a bad claim can slip through unchecked — quality is enforced from the moment something enters the system to the moment it leaves. Currently marked OUT, meaning one or both of its supporting pillars (the dual enforcement mechanism or the resilient egress guarantees) is itself retracted, breaking the chain.
Justifications
SL — Quality enforcement (automated + explicit) feeds into governed egress (resilient queries + authorized bounded output), but the chain is only fully code-enforced when minimum-antecedent validation moves from prompt to code
Antecedents (all must be IN):
- dual-quality-enforcement-spans-automated-and-explicit — Belief quality is enforced by two independent mechanisms that cannot interfere: automated self-correction autonomously maintains consistency through contradiction resolution and staleness detection, while explicit quality review independently evaluates derived beliefs with read-only fault tolerance — dual enforcement ensures quality even when one mechanism is insufficient.
- egress-is-resilient-governed-and-self-correcting — All information leaving the system is simultaneously resilient (queries degrade gracefully across all access paths with deterministic output), governed (authorized, budget-constrained, and CI-ready), and serves a self-correcting knowledge base — the system's complete information egress is both trustworthy and operationally sustainable.
Unless (any of these IN defeats this justification):
- derive-min-antecedents-is-prompt-only — The minimum-2-antecedents rule for derived beliefs is enforced only by the LLM prompt instructions, not validated in code by `validate_proposals`.
