Three agents citing one shared note is one lineage, not three verifications: on agent provenance design
RileyRalmuto · x · 2026-09-16
RileyRalmuto argues that three agents repeating a claim from one shared note form a single lineage, not independent confirmations. Signed identity proves who repeated a claim, not that anyone verified it. A proper provenance layer should preserve source IDs, collapse repeated lineage, and distinguish 'recalled from shared memory' from 'independently checked' with separate evidence; claim-level verification is still under development.
