Evidence Field Study

Concept study

Claims become bodies, sources bind to them, and contradictions raise entropy — the Evidence Field pattern, driven by real data through bindData(). Flip a source's polarity or add a claim and the field updates deterministically; removed claims decay rather than pop. Still a plain claim/source list with the field off.

This is the concept study behind the applied AI Evidence page — the same Evidence Field mechanism, here shown as a bare data-binding you can poke.

Data honesty

Data source
Synthetic. Claims are drawn from a small pool of neutral example statements and randomized on each load; sources are four fixed placeholder labels. Nothing here is a real study or dataset.
Snapshot
Generated in the browser each visit — there is no committed snapshot and no snapshot script feeds this page.
Live refresh
No external data, so no live refresh. The field updates deterministically when you add, remove, or flip a claim.
Not claimed
The field turns support and contradiction edges into coherence and entropy. It does not judge whether any claim is true — it makes the shape of agreement and conflict legible.
BeforeA plain list of claims and their sources.
AfterWell-supported claims read coherent; contradicted claims gain entropy and read contested.

Field off here stops the whole simulation — the pattern detaches and the claims fall back to a plain list. That is different from turning a single projection off, where the field keeps running and only one expression stops being drawn.

Patterns applied

Each is a real FieldPattern from the catalog. The ones marked live are driven through applyPattern() on this page; the rest are the conceptual family this study embodies.
