Components · Evidence and interpretation
Source Record
What a source reported, with the field meaning and freshness attached. A reported value is not a verdict.
Overview
This compact example shows the component inside the shared contract. The detailed galleries below exercise its edge states without granting additional authority.
States
Lifecycle and freshness are independent of epistemic strength. Source records report observations; evidence units retain their three relation states. The surrounding claim demonstrates all six epistemic states without relabeling a source or an evidence relation.
Each example is checked against its full resolver plan. Explore with a pointer or keyboard; Escape folds evidence back. The source rows and their citations light together.
Freshness
Freshness belongs to an observation, not to the strength of a claim. Unknown age is still, not a loading state.
Withheld fields
Permission boundaries remain visible as “withheld · reason”. The withheld value is absent, including from hidden content and accessibility labels (INV-10).
Anatomy
- 01 System and access
- The source name and read-only tag identify where the observation came from.
- 02 Field and Means
- The machine field stays monospaced; its meaning is written in words before the value.
- 03 Reported value and freshness
- Tabular numbers, observation time and an independent freshness pill.
- 04 Citation focus
- Hover or focus the row to light evidence that cites this exact observation.
Usage and avoid
Use: preserve what the fields mean
5,400 Produced Quantity and 1,620 Available to Sell answer different questions. Review the meanings before proposing a correction (INV-19).
Avoid: turning a model score into a fact
0.82 is an observation about the classifier. Keep the proposed alias inferred, and keep insufficient evidence visible (INV-01, INV-20).
Contract checks and limits
Running negative controls…
The live checks do not validate the truth of fixture data, motion quality, assistive-technology announcements or equivalence to the film. Review those separately at 1440px and 390px, in both themes and with reduced motion.
Contract
A component without this contract may wear Lyotic’s style; it does not implement Lyotic.
| Semantic inputs | Observations with source, field, meaning, value, observedAt, freshness |
|---|---|
| Allowed states | Meaning declared or not declared; any freshness |
| Forbidden states | A value without its field meaning column; a merged row for two sources |
| Evidence requirements | Each row is one observation; read-only sources are tagged |
| Action scope | Presentation only; no external writes or authority changes |
| Meaning of authority | None |
| External effects | None |
| Verification conditions | None |
| Failure and recovery | An unreachable source shows its last observation with its age, never a blank |
| Transitions | Appears in compare; rows light when a value or freshness changes |
| Accessibility | A real table with a caption and scoped headers |
| Observable events | None |
| Test conditions | Required by sources.meaning |
Accessibility
Preserve native names, reading order, keyboard exploration, focus continuity and text-based state. Reduced motion removes spatial movement without removing evidence or status meaning.
Code
const table = sourceRecords(input);
container.append(table);
table.update(nextInput, { keyboard: false });
// Before removal: table.destroy();
Reference and verification
Compare card rhythm to scene 02 at 24 seconds and meaning lenses to scene 04 at 49 seconds. The film is a visual reference, not evidence that an action has been verified.
For integration, walk Inventory mapping on both paths. The Work Object Shell must pass its plan to enable local Claim Block exploration; legacy two-argument calls remain non-authorizing and show evidence directly.
