Methodology
Reality Fracture keeps the product surface content-first. The working atlas shows countries, signals, claims, source events, sources, and amplifiers; this page explains the scoring model behind those labels.
Core principle
Attention means something is active, spreading, polarizing, or putting pressure on public trust. Source support is the visible backing behind the object being reviewed.
Activity, pressure, velocity, severity, and reach.
Source support, primary material, independence, contradictions, and review status.
Coverage boundary
Every country is mapped. Only admitted stories and documented events from named sources can raise a node or create a connection. Monitored countries without a public read remain neutral.
Mapped does not mean actively monitored.
Amplifier activity and public case files stay hidden until they have their own source-backed publication path.
How recently the signal changed or entered public view.
Potential institutional, civic, social, or geopolitical consequence.
How quickly the narrative is moving across channels.
Audience scale, cross-border pickup, and amplifier surface.
Visible source backing, not a verdict.
Support ladder
Lifecycle
Reality Fracture tracks whether a narrative is fringe, growing, touching mainstream attention, getting an official response, or reaching an outcome.
Fringe Claim
Signal Growing
Mainstream Contact
Official Response
Outcome
Amplifiers are reach vectors
Streamers, podcasters, creators, and accounts can increase reach and velocity. They should not automatically increase source support.
Reading rule
Read every item as Attention + Support + Lifecycle + Source context.
The useful question is not “is the map saying this is true?” It is “what is active, why is it active, how far has it moved, and what support is visible right now?”
