Status

Graded verification outcome: Verified, Falsified, or Unknown

Definition

Mechanism

The graded verification outcome type: Verified (the check passed), Falsified (the check failed), or Unknown (the check could not reach a definitive answer). Carries an optional reason field explaining the outcome. Distinct from Boolean (strict two-valued, no Unknown) and from Decision (three-valued with proceed/halt/debt operational semantics).

Invariants

  1. Tri-valued: exactly one of {Verified, Falsified, Unknown}.
  2. Unknown is not a failure: it is an honest absence of evidence, distinct from Falsified.

A conclusion inherits the verification assurance of its weakest load-bearing premise.
