EV · CPU ontology dimension

Evidence Layer

The model corpus belongs here: it is evidence about CPUs, not the object of the ontology. It records how well each processor is known.

claims about CPUs inherit the limits of their evidence

Evidence Status

Independent evidence and audit checks support detailed use.

Useful evidence exists, but coverage is limited.

Known structure gives a plausible account without full validation.

A source invariant, residual, or audit concern needs repair.

Source Mode

Direct measurements from real hardware.

Datasheets and architecture manuals supply the structure.

Published performance data constrains the behavior.

Cycle models or emulators provide controlled evidence.
