Why?

Strongest counted support: The excerpt shows Trump calling on Kelly O'Donnell and responding "Yeah" after her question about the proposed ban. It does not show "Not you," her unfinished follow-up, or Trump pointing to another reporter. weight 0.153000 evidence

Strongest counted contradiction: The report identifies ABC correspondent Rachel Scott, not NBC’s Kelly O’Donnell, as the reporter Trump interrupted with “not you.” weight 1.800000 evidence

How the number was reached

Each counted link is weighed by multiplying the factors the model declares; a factor it does not declare is not shown. Every factor name below links to what that number means.

prior 0.50 → log-odds 0.000000 + -2.025000 (the counted weights) = -2.025000 → probability 0.1166

Under neighbouring settings of the same model: 0.1951 to 0.0671, a spread of 0.1280.

Half-even rounding, six places for weights and four for the probability. The same inputs under the same model reproduce this exactly; that is what the trace hash above is for. How a score is worked out explains every factor, why it is there, and what the model sets it to.

Suppressed as dependent

None.

Inferences

Concluded from

None.

Used as a premise in

None.

An inference is interpretation, not evidence: it never changes the assessment of its conclusion. Each premise is a claim with its own evidence.

Threads

None. Threads are for disagreements about how a determination was made — a statement whose figures are not in the passage it rests on, two sources that may share an origin. Something about the world belongs in the evidence above.

Claim edges

None. Edges are stored and displayed; v0.1 does not propagate probability across them.
