Sources and verification

Check a claim against the kind of evidence it needs: a specification, running implementation, dated network observation or stated model. This independent guide links those sources so you can inspect them.

Primary references

What a claim needs

01

Read the document

What rule is proposed or specified?

02

Check implementation

Which software enforces that rule?

03

Verify activation

Is the rule active on the network?

A document, software release, and network activation are separate evidence.

Protocol behavior

Specification and implementation, plus activation evidence when the rule is described as live.

Tool readiness

Current documentation and releases. A repository or compelling demo does not establish production readiness.

Network values

A dated observation with its source. A public endpoint is one provider’s view, not a guarantee about the entire network.

An illustrative result

The model, assumptions, units, and inputs. A demonstration must not imply measurement, prediction, or security guarantees it does not calculate.

Independence and corrections

The maintainer may hold KAS. No page is a promise of return or an instruction to buy an asset. Books by guest authors retain their attribution and are not treated as consensus evidence.

If a claim has changed, compare the linked primary source and its date. The current-status page is a saved research snapshot, not continuous monitoring.
