DEFINITION AND SCIENCE
What it means
in GenOS.
Direct evidence is a receipt, test output or artifact explicitly associated with a claim; association alone does not establish business truth. The distinction between an observable software indicator and the broader scientific or philosophical construct must remain explicit.
Define Direct evidence and its scope → Inspect the bounded mechanism or indicator → Check evidence, limits and authority
Evidence e directly supports claim c only when relation R(e,c), provenance and method are explicit and integrity checks pass.

PROCESS AND USE
How it works
at a glance.
Define Direct evidence and its scope
Direct evidence is a receipt, test output or artifact explicitly associated with a claim; association alone does not establish business truth.
Inspect the bounded mechanism or indicator
Evidence e directly supports claim c only when relation R(e,c), provenance and method are explicit and integrity checks pass.
Check evidence, limits and authority
Read the linked source, implementation maturity and evidence status before extending the claim beyond this bounded mechanism.
RUNTIME IMPLEMENTATION
What is connected,
and how far.
Direct evidence is a receipt, test output or artifact explicitly associated with a claim; association alone does not establish business truth. The registry status describes the bounded mechanism only; it does not establish general intelligence, external truth or end-to-end mission success.
Canonical GenOS registry entry epistemology.direct-evidence. Maturity and evidence apply only to the documented mechanism and do not establish broader scientific or product claims.
An operational indicator can be overgeneralized into a broader scientific, philosophical or product claim. · Missing provenance, stale observations or absent independent checks can make a plausible result inadmissible.
No implementation file is pinned to this concept entry yet.

The design of experiments
Ronald A. Fisher · Oliver and Boyd
Original experimental-design treatment; GenOS comparisons need matched inputs and a declared measurement protocol.
Open publication ↗Primary research describes the cited mechanism; specific technologies may instead cite their original technical documentation. These sources provide context and do not validate the GenOS implementation.
