Phase 6. Beliefs are propositions with a prior set by epistemic kind and a confidence computed from typed evidence: sigmoid(logit(prior) + slope × (support × diversity − opposition)), where support from a single source is discounted so repetition cannot manufacture certainty, and bounds keep the mind away from absolute certainty. Every evaluation stores its breakdown and appends a version row protected by the append-only trigger; the belief page shows the arithmetic, evidence for and against, alternatives, contradictions and history. Contradiction detection is deterministic first (negation plus token overlap): a hit emits contradiction_detected, links both beliefs and makes each counter-evidence for the other so both trend to contested. Operators can assert beliefs (their statement is the evidence), add evidence, mark a belief wrong (pinned rejected, history kept) and forbid an inference; do-not-infer corrections block matching hypotheses. Retracting a memory retracts the evidence that cited it and re-evaluates the beliefs concerned. The associate process proposes low-confidence causal hypotheses from co-occurring notable observations, and the hypothesis handler turns admitted ones into beliefs with automatic alternatives, closing demo scenarios 1 and 2 without any model call.
