SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It converts scattered literature reading into a structured, traceable research note that an AI (and you) can reason over for falsification and transferability.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Formats existing Literature Notes: validates required frontmatter fields, checks module completeness, and fills missing sections while preserving user-provided claim content.
  • Creates Literature Notes from scratch: generates a full note from user-provided paper descriptions/abstracts without fabricating DOI/authors/zotero metadata.
  • Forces falsification-driven rigor: produces a core Claim Registry with quantifiable falsifiable conditions, a Failure Regime with numeric boundary predictions, and a Methodology Transferability scoring table.
  • Ensures research hygiene: performs citation integrity checks to prevent fabricated references and flags dangling ID links in related_to/derived_from/solves.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to format your existing literature note by converting it into a complete Literature Note with a claim registry, quantified failure regime, and methodology transferability score.

FAQPage Schema
How do I format literature notes for falsification and AI reasoning in Obsidian?

Literature note formatting converts scattered reading annotations into structured, falsification-ready knowledge nodes by enforcing required frontmatter, generating quantifiable claims, and validating reference integrity for AI reasoning.

How do I create a falsifiable claim registry from a research paper?

Creating a falsifiable claim registry involves extracting core claims from paper abstracts or notes, then generating at least three quantifiable falsification conditions and a numeric failure regime boundary prediction.

Can I generate Obsidian literature notes from DOIs and author names without fabricating citations?

Generating literature notes from bibliographic identifiers like DOIs and authors creates full knowledge nodes while strictly forbidding fabricated citations and auto-filling user-controlled fields to ensure research hygiene.

What is a numeric failure regime in research governance and when do I need it?

A numeric failure regime in research governance defines quantitative boundary predictions for when a falsifiable claim fails, needed when structuring literature notes for traceable methodology transferability and rigorous validation.

How do I validate citation integrity and fix dangling ID links in knowledge engineering?

Validating citation integrity checks reference completeness to prevent fabricated citations and flags dangling ID links in related_to, derived_from, and solves fields during literature note formatting.

Does literature note formatting preserve existing claim content when filling missing sections?

Formatting existing literature notes validates frontmatter, checks module completeness, and fills missing sections while strictly preserving user-provided claim content and updating note timestamps.
