Navigating the Hierarchy of Beliefs: A Score-Based Argument Evaluation System
Here’s a complete, polished version that integrates clarity, accurate mathematical representation, and actionable insights for your audience: Belief Score System: Evaluating Arguments This framework introduces a relational database system to evaluate beliefs and conclusions by scoring them based on their supporting and opposing arguments. Users can submit beliefs as reasons to support or oppose other beliefs, creating a hierarchical structure where conclusions depend on the strength of their underlying assumptions. Core Algorithm Equation #1: Conclusion Score ( C S CS ) C S ( C ) = ∑ i ( L S ( A ( C , i ) ) ⋅ B S ( A ( C , i ) ) ) − ∑ j ( L S ( D ( C , j ) ) ⋅ B S ( D ( C , j ) ) ) ∑ i B S ( A ( C , i ) ) + ∑ j B S ( D ( C , j ) ) CS(C) = \frac{\sum_{i} \left( LS(A(C, i)) \cdot BS(A(C, i)) \right) - \sum_{j} \left( LS(D(C, j)) \cdot BS(D(C, j)) \right)}{\sum_{i} BS(A(C, i)) + \sum_{j} BS(D(C, j))} Where: C C : The conclusion being evaluated. A ( C , i ) A(C, i) : The i i -th...
