Every receipt on this site settles one claim and then sits there. Trusted Debates is what happens when you can argue on top of one: pick a side, make your case, and have every sentence you write checked against the record while you write it. The archive stops being a library and starts being a room.
Nobody remembers what they read anyway, so note-taking apps are a placebo.
Trusty: contested, 2 sources againstThat is a claim, not an opinion, and the record disagrees with the strong form of it. Here is the receipt. Want to narrow it, or defend it as written?
Retrieval practice is the mechanism, and it is one of the best-replicated findings in the field.
Trusty: supported, receipt attachedOpen any claim in the wiki and start a debate on it. Both sides inherit the same evidence, so the argument begins where the record ends instead of relitigating what is already settled.
Our AI sits in every debate. It checks factual claims as they are made, flags the ones that need a source, attaches receipts, and separates what is actually in dispute from what somebody just asserted loudly.
Trusty reads the structure too: which claims are load-bearing, which ones nobody answered, and where an argument quietly changed the subject. You leave knowing what actually held.
Every new claim checked inside a debate becomes a receipt everyone else can use. The debates feed the wiki, the wiki arms the debates, and the whole thing compounds rather than scrolling away.
