claim

Inline claim marker: puts the epistemic label (direct, framework, inferred, speculative) on one assertion, with a tap-to-open note and an optional link to the core record.

On this page

The claim shortcode labels one assertion, not a page. It replaced the page-header claim pill on 2026-11-07: a page argues many things at once — a philological fact, a canon premise, a reading, a synthesis — so one label per page mislabelled most of them.

Usage#

The Hebrew word is {% claim(type="direct") %}plural in form{% end %},
and {% claim(type="framework", id="woh-claim-0001") %}the Elohim created
life on Earth{% end %}.
ArgumentRequired
typeyesdirect, framework, inferred or speculative
idnoa core claim record (woh-claim-0001). Prefer it whenever a record controls the label — the record’s public_label is the authority, the shortcode its projection.

The body is the assertion; inline markdown is allowed.

What the reader sees#

The sentence keeps the body colour and gains a hairline underline in the label’s hue, ending in a small dot. Tapping the dot (a 44px hit area) opens one shared note — on phones docked above the bottom edge, clear of the FAB rail; on wider screens under the marker — with the label, its definition, a link to The Method, and the core record when id is set. Escape, an outside tap or (on desktop) scrolling closes it. Without JavaScript the label is still announced (visually hidden text) and the dot carries a title.

Only the open note carries a blur, and there is one note element per page — never one per marker (see the glass invariants).

Editorial rule#

Labelling assertions is an editorial pass: mark the load-bearing claims of a page, not every sentence. See .claude/rules/content.md → Claim Type. The page-level claim_type in [extra] stays as metadata (the ai.claim_type meta tag, WebMCP, the graph, datasets) but is no longer rendered.
