Evidence Guide
Understand how sources are classified and what evidence classes mean.
Evidence class tells you what kind of source a claim comes from. It does not automatically prove or disprove the claim.
Why Evidence Class Matters
Decode Reality does not treat all sources the same. An ancient text, a modern book, a grimoire, a testimony, a remote-viewing session, a channeled message, a physical photograph, and a derivative compilation each require different handling. Evidence class tells the reader what kind of source they are looking at.
Source-Supported Does Not Mean Proven
A claim is source-supported when the source clearly says it. This does not automatically mean the claim is proven in reality. The portal separates what the source says from how strongly the claim is supported as real-world fact.
Duplicate Warning
Many hidden-history claims are repeated across later compilations. Repetition does not automatically create independent confirmation. The portal tracks source families and duplicate groups to avoid false evidence inflation.
Safety and Public Summaries
Some topics involve caves, tunnels, restricted sites, ritual material, medical claims, electrical devices, or other hazards. Public pages may provide a safe summary while withholding operational details.
Source Confidence
How clearly the source itself states the claim. A book may clearly claim something, giving high source confidence.
Reality Confidence
How strongly the claim appears supported as real-world fact. The real-world claim may remain unresolved even with high source confidence.
A book may clearly claim something, giving high source confidence, while the real-world claim remains unresolved or low-confidence.
Evidence Classes
documented historical source
A source with verifiable historical documentation — archives, official records, or published historical material.
ancient literary source
A text from antiquity — ancient manuscripts, epics, or scriptures preserved through transmission.
religious tradition
A claim rooted in an established religious or spiritual tradition — not necessarily historical fact, but culturally significant.
religious biography
A biographical account within a religious tradition — spiritually significant, not treated as laboratory proof.
witness-chain tradition
A claim transmitted through a chain of witnesses — tradition-based, not direct observation.
spiritual realization tradition
A claim from a spiritual practice tradition — experiential, preserved as tradition rather than proof.
folklore
A claim from oral tradition, legend, or folk belief — valuable as cultural expression, not proof of fact.
eyewitness testimony
A first-person account — the witness experienced something, but perception and memory are not infallible.
experiential testimony
A report of a personal experience — meaningful as testimony, not equivalent to measured evidence.
remote viewing
A claim from a structured remote-viewing session — experiential evidence, not laboratory proof.
channeling
A claim received through a spiritual or mediumistic channel — spiritual/testimonial evidence class.
modern anomalous research
Research into anomalous phenomena using non-standard methods — requires separate validation.
modern synthesis
A modern author's interpretation combining multiple sources — not an original source itself.
modern esoteric source
A modern esoteric or occult text — recent in origin, not ancient primary documentation.
modern esoteric narrative
A narrative from modern esoteric literature — literary, not archaeological evidence.
speculative interpretation
An author's speculative reading of a source — one possible interpretation among others.
comparative symbolism
A comparison of symbols across traditions — structural analysis, not proof of identity.
comparative mythology
A comparison of mythological motifs — useful for patterns, not proof of historical events.
physical evidence
A claim supported by physical, measurable evidence — the strongest evidence class.
visual evidence
A claim supported by visual documentation — photographs, diagrams, or video.
observational claim
A claim based on visual observation — requires camera-context and measurement review.
derivative compilation
A source that compiles and repeats earlier material — not independent confirmation.
duplicate
A copy of another source — never counts as independent evidence.
disputed
A claim whose meaning, authenticity, or interpretation is contested.
disputed claim
A claim explicitly contested — needs contradiction review before resolution.
disputed evidence
Evidence whose reliability is contested — preserved but flagged.
disputed archaeology
Archaeological claims contested by mainstream scholarship — preserved separately.
disputed evidence
Evidence whose interpretation is contested — preserved but flagged.
retracted
A claim that has been withdrawn by its original source.
grimoire
A ritual or magical text involving seals, names, prayers, and symbolic operations — requires safety-aware handling.
ritual text
A text containing ritual instructions — studied symbolically, not operationally in public view.
symbolic technology
A system of symbols and procedures treated as a technology — studied as symbolic structure.
historical occult source
An occult text with historical transmission — preserved as historical, not operational.
hidden governance tradition
A tradition describing hidden or sacred governance — esoteric source, not historical proof.
modern polemical argument corpus
A body of modern argumentative texts — each claim requires individual audit.
measurement audit
A claim requiring quantitative or instrumental verification — not resolved by source citation alone.
lost-civilization claim
A claim about a lost or ancient civilization — speculative, requires physical corroboration.
consciousness teaching
A teaching about consciousness or spiritual practice — experiential, not physical evidence.
unverified physical-location claim
A claim about a physical location not independently verified — preserved as claim, not fact.
ancient astronaut source
A source interpreting ancient texts through an extraterrestrial-contact lens — speculative interpretation.
methodology
A meta-claim about how the research system works — process, not content.
database integrity
A principle about record handling and source separation — system rule, not content claim.
research process
A description of how research is conducted — process documentation.
evidence guide
A guide to understanding evidence classes — educational, not a content claim.
truth audit
A structured review of a claim's support, contradictions, and alternatives — process, not proof.
unknown
The evidence class has not yet been determined.
Safety Note
Some evidence classes (ritual, coercive, physical experiments) may carry safety restrictions. The public portal never shows operational instructions for dangerous activities.
