classify-simplicity-evidence

Purpose

Classify explanatory compression as earned, weak, or decorative.

Input contract

required: [explanation, covered_facts, alternatives, predictions]
optional: [evidence]
constraints: [facts and alternatives must be independently listed]

Procedure

1. Check whether independent facts are compressed.
2. Check whether alternatives are forbidden and predictions constrained.
3. Classify earned, weak, or decorative and preserve rationale.

If simplicity provides discriminating support only through a vulnerable consequence, consider test-risky-prediction as the next tactic.
