A non-social knowledge network. Every user is a mediator.
The mediator connects original articles and texts with their reworked facts. The mediator is only responsible for referencing and paraphrasing methods, not for the content itself.
Information that has been paraphrased and processed by the mediator based on a source. A fact is directly linked to its source. Each fact belongs to a single mediator and inherits the type of its source.
The original text written by another author. Sources do not belong to users and are edited by the site.
Reflects your emotional assessment. It may indicate the depth of the fact or an arbitrary rating.
This rating indicates how well the mediator has linked the fact to the source, including the correctness of paraphrasing, citations, context, and references.
This rating assesses the accessibility of the source(s), including how easy it is to find and read them.
Covers a broad range of online information. It does not fit into other source categories and is characterized by authority from the original source, fragmentation, incomplete reliability, locality, and flexibility.
Defined by personal authority, subjectivity, non-verbal nature, esotericism, intuition, and emotionality.
Based on religious authority, transcendence, and irrationality.
Characterized by publication authority, objectivity, reproducibility, systematic nature, provability, falsifiability, rationality, and accuracy.
These are typically provided by an authoritative source or historical context.
Mediators may use site features to connect facts but must not intentionally harm the site or its users. The site strongly recommends considering your privacy when filling in profile data, such as email, name, and username.
Unsubscribed mediators have a limited number of facts they can create, while a subscription increases this limit.
- The site has the right to modify source data but not facts. Sources are edited according to the established criteria.
- The site does not verify user identities. Authentication via third-party software (Keycloak) only confirms email addresses per their documentation.
- The site is not responsible for links to articles attached by mediators.
- Deleted facts or sources retain a minimized version in their link parameters, but this can be modified by anyone when shared.
- The site strives to follow APA citation norms.
The site host is responsible for infrastructure below the application level.

A verbatim excerpt from the source that facilitates information retrieval.
The specific page of the source used for paraphrasing and quoting, aiding in source verification.
