Main unresolved issue: 8 counted evidence items have no independence review; repeats of one origin may be counted as several coverage:510c25d7-29bd-8215-a946-740f6bfb74ef

Not yet independently audited.A quoted passage from ew.com was not found on the page when Galedra fetched it.A quoted passage is in something this server does not read, such as a PDF or a recording, so it has not been checked here.

Why?

Strongest counted support: The official Star Trek site describes Mirror, Mirror as a parallel universe episode featuring a bearded Mr. Spock. weight 1.800000 evidence

Suppressed as dependent: Speaker names Mirror Mirror from the original series as the alternate universe episode with Spock in a goatee.; The excerpt identifies “Mirror, Mirror” as an original-series alternate-universe episode with Spock wearing a goatee.

Review gaps: independence reviewed, primary source reviewed

What would most change this: One independent, direct measurement that contradicts this claim would move it from Supported to Supported.

Under neighbouring settings of the same model: 0.9961 to 1.0000, a spread of 0.0039.

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.

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.
