Uncertainty ratios are measured across six evidence configurations: 0/2, 1/3, 1/2, 2/4, 2/3, and 2/2 (supportive vs. contradictory evidence counts).
Summary
The system measures how uncertain it is about a claim across six fixed scenarios that range from fully contradictory evidence to fully supportive evidence. These six reference points serve as the measurement grid, so the system can consistently compare and calibrate how shifting the balance of supporting versus contradicting evidence changes its confidence.
