Perhaps Users will be able to mark claims as a 1. Valid Claim or 2. No claim made, Gibberish

Proofs and DisproofsProofs and Disproofs will be ranked much like answers on stack overflow. The algo has yet to be worked out but it will use the vouching system and the rank of the vouches.Proofs will be augmented with data links, study links, explanations from the user, user created data charts, comments section for each proof/disproof.Other things to include?

Link to data backing up the proof/disproof

User created data chart representing their proof.

The user has the ability to post a link to a study from which his proof is derived.

Explanation of the proof/disproof.Summary of study, data and reason why it is proof / disproof of the claim.Forced format so that readers are not exausted by bad formatting or long winded explanations.200char max, 50 char min sections, 5 section max.

See notes on proofs

Incentive TrailExplanation or measure of how much incentive a person is likly to have that persuades his or her judgement.1. Financial Incentive2. Education Background3. Corporate tree. 4. ???

Claims are full sentances or groups of sentances that can bee seen by users as being established as a claim.Any logged in user can make a claim. Claims can be catorgized by users and a valid claim or invalid claim.Claims are identified by icons after the last sentance in the claim. Once claims are clicked on or viewed that claims proofs and disproofs are displayed in the margins of the article.

Articals should have a validity interface that allows users to set it validity so that users can filter out articles that are giberish or severly un coherent.

Credability is a score on a users account. It is determined by....

The meta data kept can be used to apply filters. The filters function will depend on the meta data kept.

Total vouches and their rank will be the default filter, higher rank and higher vouches will create a score and the highest scored will float to the top.

A claim is a statement that says a truth about how the "world" works.

A people Icon on each main section (Articles, Claims, Proofs, Disproofs, Vouching) will allow users to see who the work horses are and give them recognition for their work.Profiles will be public.People can post as anon as to let people post up content without the possibility of getting smeared in real life.

This is the article. One of these sentences may be highlighted and identified as a claim. Then an icon will appear behind the sentence. (C)These icons can be clicked on to view the claim and subsequent proofs and disproofs.Meta data will be displayed at the heading of the article.

Claim = The earth is round.7 is the total of proofs - 1 disproof (not set in stone as what to show users)Flag is for users to mark claim as bad, jibberish.
