How We Classify Knowledge

Teach the seven epistemic labels used across CP1 Observatory.

FOUNDER RATIFIEDPUBLICATION NOT AUTHORIZED

Canonical master

CP1 Observatory classifies knowledge before communicating conclusions. OBS is observed. CNF is confirmed within a defined scope. INF is inferred. HYP is a testable hypothesis. SPC is speculative. UNK is unknown. CTR is contradicted. These labels prevent a possibility from being presented as evidence and an inference from being presented as observation.

Governed sequence

OBS — OBSERVED

Directly recorded, measured or documented under stated conditions.

CNF — CONFIRMED

Repeated or independently supported strongly enough for the defined scope.

INF — INFERRED

Reasonably derived from observations, but not directly observed itself.

HYP — HYPOTHESIS

A testable explanation under active evaluation.

SPC — SPECULATIVE

A possibility with insufficient evidence or discriminatory power.

UNK — UNKNOWN

Not currently determinable.

CTR — CONTRADICTED

Materially conflicts with stronger evidence.
