"SI second defined by cesium hyperfine transition"

empiricalproposed0.00→ never 1.0
Canonical Claim

The SI second is defined by a fixed number of cesium transitions.

Warrant (how it is justified) and consensus state / credence (where the community stands) are independent axes. The four warrant kinds are unordered peers — not a certainty ladder.

Consensus Frontier

⚑ held by convention · challengeable

This claim has no dependencies — the drill terminates here. Not because bedrock was reached, but because this is where the community currently agrees to stop digging. It is epistemically identical to every other node: held by convention, and challengeable.
