318 +* (((
319 +**Identity vs. version pattern**
320 +Using base entities plus version entities (CLAIM + CLAIM_VERSION, SCENARIO + SCENARIO_VERSION, etc.) is exactly how modern knowledge systems handle:
321 +

323 +* time evolution
324 +* re-evaluation triggers
325 +* federation and partial replication
326 +)))
327 +* (((
328 +**Scenario-centric reasoning**
329 +Separating //Claim// (what people argue about) from //Scenario// (interpretive frame) is very aligned with “truth landscape” style systems:

331 +* Scenarios explain //why people disagree//.
332 +* Verdicts are tied to specific scenario versions → avoids mixing incompatible assumptions.
333 +)))
334 +* **Evidence and verdicts as first-class entities**
335 +Evidence is explicit, linked to scenarios, and verdicts are per scenario. This matches good practice from fact-checking, scientific assessment panels, and trust graphs.
336 +* (((
337 +**Cluster level (CLAIM_CLUSTER)**
338 +Grouping related claims avoids duplication and lets you:
339 +
340 +* reuse scenarios across paraphrases
341 +* share embeddings / semantic search
342 +* keep the system scalable as the corpus grows.
343 +)))
344 +* (((
345 +**Explicit review layer (REVIEW_ACTION, roles, etc.)**

349 +* permissions
350 +* audit trails
351 +* future trust scoring per user / role.
