1. Reasoning Structure Check (v2.0)
Validates whether an argument’s internal logic holds under recursive pressure. Flags mimicry loops, circular reasoning, and breakdowns in structural coherence.
2. Epistemic Trace Check (v2.0)
Tests citation validity, contextual relevance, and the degree of epistemic support they lend to a claim. Detects hallucinated, stacked, or misattributed references.
3. Method Logic Consistency (v2.0)
Analyzes the experimental or methodological structure of a work. Checks if procedures can be mirrored or re-applied without collapse, identifying process-level mimicry.
4. Core Inquiry Continuity Check (v2.0)
Ensures that the core research question remains intact across the paper. Detects drift, deflection, or inflation of the original inquiry over time.
