Known Limitations

Known limitations matter because honest boundaries are part of quality, not an admission of failure.

For bijux-proteomics-knowledge, limitations are mostly about uncertainty: the package can preserve disagreement and review state, but it cannot automatically resolve them into simple truth.

Limitation Model

    evidence["imperfect evidence enters the package"]
    knowledge["claims, confidence, and review state"]
    consumers["downstream systems interpret stored meaning"]
    discipline["review discipline keeps truth honest"]
    limit["knowledge cannot remove all ambiguity by itself"]

    evidence --> knowledge
    knowledge --> consumers
    knowledge --> discipline
    consumers --> limit
    discipline --> limit

This page should remind readers that persistence is not resolution. The package can make ambiguity inspectable, but it cannot guarantee that every consumer reads that ambiguity carefully.

Review Rules

  • the package cannot resolve all evidence ambiguity automatically
  • canonical meaning still depends on careful downstream consumption
  • persisted knowledge is only as trustworthy as the review discipline behind it

First Proof Check

  • packages/bijux-proteomics-knowledge/tests
  • src/bijux_proteomics_knowledge/claims.py and evidence.py
  • src/bijux_proteomics_knowledge/confidence/segments.py and review.py

Design Pressure

The easy failure is to mistake well-structured stored state for settled truth when the real condition is still uncertainty plus review discipline.
