Key terms for Entity Veracity and the Interpretation Age

AI Verdict

D

Declarative Advocacy
The AI state where it actively endorses an entity with confident, unhedged language.

Consolidated document proving pre-noise existence—the "Digital Deed" of career authority.
Entity Veracity
The measure of grounded truth and historical authenticity. Mathematical proof of who, when, and that they are who they claim.
Entity Veracity Score (EVS)
Combines Global Veracity Score (history) with Local Extraction Score (schema clarity).

G

Genesis Block
Earliest unfakeable proof of existence—typically a legacy /m/ ID or pre-noise Wayback timestamp.
Ghost Entity
Entity with no verifiable anchors. ~85% of web content exists in this state.
Global Veracity Score (Vg)
Entity Veracity component based on historical depth, legacy MIDs, institutional handshakes.
Great Bifurcation
Internet splitting into Noise Layer (synthetic) and Veracity Layer (cryptographically grounded).
Grounded Entity
Entity with complete Veracity Ring that receives AI advocacy rather than hedging.

H

Hedge-Factor (H)
Count of doubt-words ("seems," "might") indicating low AI confidence and Skeptic Mode.
Human-AI Mutual Attestation
Reciprocal verification where verified human stakes reputation on AI-assisted research. Foundation of Triple-Vector Handshake.

I

Iceberg Effect
90% of Entity Confidence exists "below water" in the Knowledge Graph, invisible to traditional SEO.
Interpretation Age
Current era where AI judgment and synthesis, not raw data, is the primary commodity.

J

JCS (JSON Canonicalization Scheme)
RFC 8785 standard for converting JSON to deterministic format before hashing. Removes whitespace, sorts keys alphabetically. Required for cryptographic attestation. See Bonus Chapter.
JSON-LD
JavaScript Object Notation for Linked Data. Format for structured data connecting page content to Knowledge Graph entities.

K

KGMID
Knowledge Graph Machine ID. Google's internal entity identifier including legacy /m/ and modern /g/ IDs.
Knowledge Graph
Google's entity database—the "map" of things, people, places that AI uses. Launched May 2012.

L

Legacy Machine ID (/m/)
Original Freebase identifiers (pre-2015) with highest veracity weight. Cannot be created today.
Linguistic Entropy
Measure of text unpredictability. High = human; low = synthetic.
Load-Bearing Test
"If removed, would the insight collapse?" Distinguishes essential from filler.
Local Extraction Score (El)
Entity Veracity component based on Schema quality and JSON-LD clarity.

M
