Glossary OTP

Claim Provenance

The origin story of a knowledge claim: where it came from, when it was created, who authored it, and how it changed over time. Every claim in OTP is provenance-tracked.

Why it matters

Without provenance, you cannot tell which claims are battle-tested and which are someone's untested guess. Provenance is what makes coordination intelligence trustworthy.
