Rule Model Foundations

Fact Input Record

Rule models need explicit fact inputs rather than hidden assumptions. Honesty note: simplified toy rule-modeling workflow, corpus-light with no neochart dependency; the pinned first step carries the full honesty note.

Rule model honesty note

Honesty note: simplified toy rule-modeling workflow; corpus-light and no neochart dependency; jurisdictions and interpretations vary; as of June 24, 2026; not legal advice; code encodes a stated interpretation workflow, not the law itself.

Use explicit fact fields

The stated process turns prose phrases into named fact-input fields with known or unknown status.

Example fact packet

The toy packet includes age years, residency scope, filing date, and exclusion flag fields.

The table recomputes support

The retrieval table recomputes 4 fields and 4 token-supported rows from the authored fact-input text.

Diagram note

The diagram is a fact-field table. It exposes inputs and unknowns instead of hiding assumptions.

Summary

Fact records make the model reviewable because each input has a name, source, and status.
