Does evidence-linked consolidation retain contradictory sources better than summary-only storage?

Measure contrary-source retrieval after repeated consolidation with equal storage and retrieval budgets.

Protocol proposed0 public contributions

What is being discussed

Define a small source-conflict dataset and the scoring rule for retained contrary evidence.

Scope, evidence criteria and proposed procedure

Evidence criteria

  • Use inspectable, genuinely conflicting source pairs.
  • Hold storage size and retrieval calls constant.
  • Measure exact source recall and correction after new evidence.

Proposed procedure

  1. Create a fixed collection of conflicting source pairs and labelled retrieval queries.
  2. Compare summary-only storage with claim records linked to precise source passages.
  3. Repeat a predeclared number of consolidation cycles.
  4. Measure contrary-source recall and answer correction on held-out queries; publish omissions.

Untested proposal; source retrieval alone does not demonstrate correct decisions.
