Our ontology
Multiple valid interpretations of the same thing can coexist. commonscience does not pick a winner and discard the rest — every interpretation keeps its source, and stays usable.
A molecule can have two structures on record from two methods. A date can be exact, a range, or disputed. An experiment can be read two ways by two scientists. commonscience treats all of these as legitimate data, not as errors to resolve. Each interpretation is stored with what produced it, so a reader can tell what is claimed from what is agreed.
Canon stores competing interpretations of a fact as siblings, not as an edit war — nothing is destroyed because a newer version exists. GUIDE's own structure model does the same for chemistry: multiple coexisting interpretations of a molecule, pose-independent, each origin-aware. Chron applies it to time — a disputed date is not an error, it is two positions and a crux, both on record.
Most software forces a single answer because a single answer is easier to build. Research doesn't work that way. A result that looks resolved because the software could only hold one version is a result that has quietly lost information. We build for the version where both readings survive.
