Where a Ptichi claim comes from

A published page can carry source IDs, proof-object IDs, a claim state, a translation state and a review date. The public content index exposes those routing fields for published content; the canonical HTML page remains the reader-facing authority.

External sources

When a page relies on research, standards or external documentation, its source_ids resolve through Ptichi's reviewed source registry. A source record states what the source can support and, just as importantly, what it does not establish.

A citation to research does not turn Ptichi's interpretation into a finding from that paper.

Project proof objects

proof_objects identify public project artifacts used to support a bounded Ptichi-observed claim. A proof object records what the artifact is, what it supports and its limitations.

A project-created example or benchmark output is not automatically participant evidence. A screenshot is not a usability study. A deterministic test is not evidence of learning. The label should survive contact with the object.

Editorial and claim states

Ptichi pages distinguish external evidence, project observations, editorial interpretation and uncertainty. The editorial policy explains the visible language used for those boundaries.

Machine-readable claim states help keep the publication contract explicit. They do not replace reading the page and its limitations.

Localization

English, Russian and German are representations of the same durable content entities when they share a canonical entity ID. Translation/localization metadata describes the workflow state; it is not a quality score and does not claim native review unless that state is actually recorded.

Synthetic material and AI-assisted images

Synthetic fixtures are labelled as synthetic and must not be presented as recordings or behavior from real people. AI-assisted editorial illustrations are presentation assets, not experimental observations.

What provenance does not prove

A clean provenance chain can show where a claim or artifact came from. It cannot, by itself, prove that the claim is true, that a source is high quality, that users improved, or that Search or AI systems selected the page.
