Evidence Field

show how sources support, weaken, or contradict a claim

Running the actual pattern live via applyPattern() — switch the substrate, stack overlays, watch the signals, or reverse the dynamics. Not a mock.

"Evidence Field" — show how sources support, weaken, or contradict a claim. It has a charge layer (attract/repel charged matter), a link layer (ropes / cloth between neighbours), a cohesion layer (flocking — pull toward neighbours), and a repel layer (carve a void / keep-clear region). The active render stack is links, particles, heatmap.

Claims are bodies; supporting sources bind them (link + cohesion), contradictory sources repel and raise entropy (electromagnetic + strong). Strong evidence increases coherence.

Runtime tokens: charge attract/repel charged matterlink ropes / cloth between neighbourscohesion flocking — pull toward neighboursrepel carve a void / keep-clear region
Metrics: coherence computed every frame by the platform (proximity · engagement · relationships · age)entropy computed every frame by the platform (proximity · engagement · relationships · age)
Diagnostics: topology causality links
Conditions: related
Render: links · particles · heatmap
Reduced motion: a static claim/source table with support and conflict badges
Without motion: each source is listed as supporting or contradicting, with a confidence label
