No orphan facts, and no + mystery facts wearing borrowed confidence either. + A source is not one thing and never carries ONE trust score: + source trust is MULTIDIMENSIONAL (excellent on cooking, worthless + on medicine — same URL) and VOLATILE (captured sites, decayed + institutions, editors gone rogue — trust can collapse in weeks). + So each source holds per-domain readings on its own fast clock: + caught right in a domain, its trust there rises; caught wrong, + that domain's reading sinks while the others sit untouched. + Two layers again: public trust per domain, and our own earned + record per domain — ours outranks theirs, because theirs is an + unexamined fold and ours is audited to the byte. This is the fix + for what broke everything: facts that lost their receipts and got + believed anyway, carried by sources judged as monoliths. + EXCEPTION, absolute: none of this applies to personal truth. + When someone speaks about themselves — what they lived, what they + are, what happened to them — they ARE the source.
