Claim Model

A prophecy graph should model claims as claims, not facts by default. That means preserving speaker, source, date, wording, interpretation, tradition, confidence, and later status.

What to notice

Separate objectsPerson, organization, text, event, claim, symbol, source, and interpretation should not be collapsed.
Provenance firstReaders should be able to move from claim to source and back without losing context.
Disagreement is dataThe graph should show contested interpretations rather than hiding them.
