Contradiction Entropy Monitor
Track contradictions across the evidence base as it grows.
ContradictedQuarantined
Maintains a live contradiction register so that conflicting results, null runs, and superseded claims remain visible instead of being quietly dropped.
Institute module developed within the KRYOS v6 framework ecosystem. Established scientific methods retain their conventional attribution.
When to use
Continuously through any engagement lasting more than a single review cycle.
When not to use
As a scoring device — contradiction counts are diagnostic, not a quality metric.
Required inputs
- Evidence register
- New results as they arrive
Optional inputs
- Null result archive
- Superseded protocol versions
Assumptions and constraints
- Null and negative results carry equal register status to positive ones.
Process steps
- 01Detect logical and numerical conflicts between claims.
- 02Classify conflict type and severity.
- 03Assign a resolution owner and review date.
- 04Track resolution or escalation to quarantine.
- 05Report unresolved contradictions in every executive output.
Human review gates
- Lab Director reviews the open contradiction register at each cadence point.
Primary output — Contradiction register with owners and resolution states.
- contradiction_id, claim_a, claim_b, conflict_type, severity
- owner, review_date, resolution_state
Failure signals
- Contradictions closed without documented resolving evidence.
Quarantine triggers
- A dependency chain rests on a contradicted claim.
Mini prompt
Compare all registered claims and report logical or numerical conflicts. Classify type and severity. Assign an owner and review date to each. Do not close any contradiction without resolving evidence.
