Public evidence surface
Basic research remains crawlable and readable. Identity gates begin only at restricted records, submission, and workspace actions.
ACTIVE AIREA STANDARD / DRAFT 0.1
Verification without pretending uncertainty disappeared.
AIREA evaluates the integrity and evidence position of research. It does not reduce a paper to “true” or “false,” and it never hides the boundaries of its search.
An evidence status describes the current record, not permanent scientific truth.
GLASS SUBSTRATE PROTOCOL / ENGINEERING PROFILE
Controls mapped to inspectable system boundaries.
Pre-storage inspection
PDF signature, EOF structure, encryption, embedded files, launch actions, and active script markers are evaluated before the permanent object write.
ACTIVE · STRUCTURAL MVPContent fingerprint
The complete source buffer receives a SHA-256 fingerprint before storage through the authenticated /gateway/ingest boundary.
Chained attestation
Material ingest events bind the source hash, Visiting ID, user, work ID, prior receipt hash, and timestamp into an append-only application receipt.
ACTIVE · WORM PENDINGTHE EVIDENCE INTEGRITY ENGINE
Six inspectable layers
Identity provenance
The person, institution, and scholarly identity behind a submission are established before upload rights are granted.
Structural integrity
References, identifiers, files, disclosures, data availability, and required research metadata are validated.
Claim decomposition
Material assertions are separated from interpretation and mapped to supporting, challenging, contextual, or missing evidence.
Coverage declaration
Every report states which evidence indexes were searched, when the search ran, and what could not be accessed.
Human adjudication
Disputed, novel, or high-impact findings remain reviewable by qualified people. Automation cannot silently reject scientific novelty.
Living integrity record
Corrections, retractions, replications, challenges, and author responses remain attached to the archival version history.
EVIDENCE LANGUAGE
Statuses built for research, not headlines.
Strongly supported
Multiple credible and methodologically relevant sources converge on the claim.
Supported
Available evidence generally supports the claim within stated boundaries.
Contested
Credible supporting and challenging evidence both exist.
Inconclusive
Available evidence cannot resolve the claim.
Unsupported
No adequate support was located within the declared evidence coverage.
Novel claim
The claim may be original and lacks a prior evidence base; novelty is not treated as misconduct.
RESEARCH IDENTITY
A graduated credential architecture
One verified scholarly identity or an eligible academic email unlocks full reading. Higher-impact actions require stronger, stacked evidence of identity and expertise.
