Evidence SRC01-E01
Type Factual

Three input types with distinct treatment rules in the prompt.

URL: N/A (local file: prompt-snapshot.md)

Extract

The Input Types section defines:

  • Claims — "assertions to be tested against evidence. The research agent investigates whether each claim is true, false, or partially true."
  • Queries — "questions to be answered with evidence. The research agent produces an answer with confidence and reasoning."
  • Axioms — "facts declared by the researcher that MUST be assumed true for the duration of the research. Axioms are NOT tested, NOT fact-checked, and NOT subject to competing hypotheses."

Axiom handling rules: - "Treat axioms as established context, not as claims to investigate" - "Use axioms to constrain the scope" - If evidence contradicts an axiom, report as a finding but do not test the axiom - "Rule 5 (surface embedded assumptions) does NOT apply to declared axioms"

Coexistence: "All three sections are optional. An input may contain only claims, only queries, only axioms with claims, or any combination. Claims and queries may be intermixed in a single research run."

Relevance to Hypotheses

Hypothesis Relationship Strength
H1 Supports Direct confirmation of every element of the claim
H2 Contradicts Full support for coexistence, not partial
H3 Contradicts Axioms are explicitly defined and supported

Context

The axiom concept is inspired by intelligence analysis (classified briefing points) and academic research (established axioms defining investigation boundaries).
