Conflicts

Scan accepted canon for timing, travel, relationship, detail and world-rule clashes, then judge each possible conflict.

Where Sidebar → Conflicts

Conflict candidates in The Ashbell Pass sample: a hard, rule-based relationship conflict with Source A and Source B side by side.

What you see

  1. TabsTo judge (open conflicts) and Decided.
  2. Severity barOpen hard and soft counts, a filter by severity and Hard first to sort.
  3. Conflict cardSeverity, status, whether it is Rule-based or AI-suggested, the confidence, the rule it broke and one line on the clash.
  4. Source A and Source BThe two canon facts that clash, each with its verified quote and source.
  5. DecisionA required rationale and three decisions: Confirm conflict, False alarm or Uncertain.

Scan canon

  1. Select Scan canon.
  2. New possible conflicts appear under To judge; a note says how many were found and how many world rules were checked.
  3. Scan again after canon changes.

Judge a conflict

  1. Read the clash and both sources.
  2. Write why in Your rationale (required).
  3. Select Confirm conflict, False alarm or Uncertain.

Change a conflict’s severity

  1. Select Change severity on the card.
  2. Say why, then make it hard or soft.

What it checks

  • In code: one person in two places at overlapping exact or approximate times, too little time to travel between places, a relationship used after it ended, someone acting after canon says they died, and one detail with two answers.
  • With the AI: facts that break a world rule. These are marked AI-suggested.
  • Facts with a day but no clock time are skipped by the overlap and travel checks. See Conflict rules.
  • Hard conflicts break canon; soft ones are worth a look.

Deciding never edits canon

A conflict is a possible problem for you to judge, not a change. To fix a fact, propose a change on the Changes page. A conflict that only existed because two pages were one closes as Resolved by merge when they are merged.
