CSuggestive similarity

Evidence tier

Echo patterns are similarity-based hypotheses, not proof of causation. Open the sources and evaluate the linkage yourself.

Evidence Scorecard

A single score cannot prove an echo. This card triangulates semantic, temporal, and linkage evidence.

Suggestive similarity

Semantic

Strong semantic alignment

Temporal

Global precedent precedes Korea

Linkage

No recorded linkage

Tier C — Suggestive similarity — semantic or keyword overlap + plausible timing

Multilingual semantic similarity

cosine similarity (method detail)0.813

Computed with intfloat/multilingual-e5-small multilingual embeddings. Display score is a calibrated mapping of the raw cross-lingual cosine (0.813); higher means closer meaning. Reflects semantic similarity, not proof of causation.

Could also be…

•Parallel domestic policy development is possible.
•Industry or market pressure may have driven similar language.
•A common external shock (e.g., financial crisis, pandemic) could explain parallel adoption.

Cross-lingual similarity 52/100 (multilingual e5 embedding) — a computed signal, not proof.

Similarity type: Codex Pesticide MRLs → Korea Positive List System for pesticides | Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) → 최대잔류허용기준 (MRL)

Caveat: semantic similarity only — this tier records a hypothesis, not proof of causal influence.

Codex 농약 데이터베이스

Original (Global)

Codex establishes Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs)^① for pesticides in food through the Codex Committee on Pesticide Residues (CCPR), based on scientific risk assessment by JMPR (Joint FAO/WHO Meeting on Pesticide Residues). The Codex Pesticide Database^③ contains MRLs for hundreds of pesticide-commodity combinations.

Echo (Korea)

한국은 2019년부터 「식품위생법」 및 「식품의 기준 및 규격」에 따라 농약 허용물질목록 관리제도(PLS: Positive List System)를 전면 시행 중이다. Codex MRL을 포함한 국제 기준을 참조하여 국내 MRL을 설정하며, Codex 기준이 없는 경우 일률기준(0.01 mg/kg)을 적용한다.

Score Guide

Confidence — Editorial judgment, now shown as a confidence tier (A–D) based on semantic, temporal, and linkage evidence. Not proof of causation.

Echo Strength — Metadata completeness score. Rewards verified sources, paired links, explicit dates, keyword diversity, and origin tags.

Vocabulary Overlap — Heuristic score measuring shared tokens between global and Korean texts. Reflects loanwords and repeated terms, not meaning across languages.
