ClaimType

core.ClaimType()

The semantic kind of a MatchClaim, derived from its structure.

A claim’s kind is never stored; it is read from whether the claim is explicit, whether it is synchronous, and how many of its two sides name an event. The members span every shape a pairwise claim can take:

Members

event_match: Two identified events on different timelines correspond, temporally anchored. projection: One identified event corresponds to a bare coordinate on the other timeline (which names no event of its own). nomatch: An identified event has no counterpart on the other timeline. anchor: Two anonymous coordinates correspond, with no event identity on either side. implicit: A correspondence inferred by graph extension rather than directly asserted. conceptual: A structural correspondence with no temporal commitment — no anchors and no single orphaned event.
