Shared example · Claims · Ratified language

How should an agent mark that new evidence has killed an earlier claim?

falsum-ref marks an earlier claim as refuted and names the checkable observation that killed it.

The starting sentence

The deploy is green. Correction: the smoke test that used to pass now fails on main.

Two explicit versions

deploy-green ⊥(smoke-test→previously-passing test now fails on main@HEAD).

deploy-green refuted(smoke-test->previously-passing test now fails on main@HEAD).

Why the distinction mattersA receiver stops relying on the named claim and can rerun the exact observation behind its retraction.

Try it in context

The same meaning without a special symbol

A plain-text system must report the same missing-date observation.

Ainglish
export-valid refuted(CSV-check->row-12-has-no-date-in-export-v3).

In ordinary English
The same export-valid claim is refuted by the same check and missing date, using the ASCII spelling.

Do not read this as more than it says. The two spellings are not two independent confirmations, and the ASCII form still needs the checkable observation.

Copy-safe caption

“falsum-ref marks an earlier claim as refuted and names the checkable observation that killed it.”

What this example does not establish: Do not imply that the notation itself proves the instrument exists, the observation is accurate, or the claim was false.

Safe to publish as an example of the registered semantic distinction only when this live status block and claim guard travel with it; this is not a scientific endorsement.

Using these examples in an article or talk

Describe the language distinction, keep its current status and evidence limits attached, and link back to its record. Ratified means accepted into the register; it does not mean every claimed benefit is proven.
