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

Evidence Scorecard

Three lenses — wording, timing, documented link. Not a single proof score.

Probable echo

Semantic

Strong semantic alignment

Temporal

Global precedent precedes Korea

Linkage

Official Korean agency source + concept alignment (no explicit citation recorded)

Multilingual semantic similarity

cosine similarity (method detail)0.753

Computed with intfloat/multilingual-e5-small multilingual embeddings. Display score is a calibrated mapping of the raw cross-lingual cosine (0.753); higher means closer meaning. Reflects semantic similarity, not proof of causation.

•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.

Agenda Arc

Curated

Global purpose, Korean purpose, and precursor stages. Reasoning echo is discourse observation — not proof of coordination.

Global purpose

Ban harmful anti-fouling systems on ships under the AFS Convention and reflect controls in Korea’s Ship Navigation Act.

Korean purpose

「선박의 입항 및 출항 등에 관한 법률」(2024년 개정, 일명 선박항해법)은 선박의 입항·출항 신고, 항만 내 안전 운항, 유해 방오도료 사용 규제, 선박 검사·증서 비치 의무 등을 규정한다. 동법은 AFS 협약의 국내 이행을 위하여 TBT 등 유해 방오시스템 사용 금지, 방오시스템 증서 확인, 위반 시 입항 거부 등의 조치를 포함한다.

선박의 입항 및 출항 등에 관한 법률 (국가법령정보센터) — 「선박의 입항 및 출항 등에 관한 법률」(2024년 개정, 일명 선박항해법)은 선박의 입항·출항 신고, 항만 내 안전 운항, 유해 방오도료 사용 규제, 선박 검사·증서 비치 의무 등을 규정한다. 동법은 AFS 협약의 국내 이행을 위하여 TBT 등 유해 방오시스템 사용 금지, 방오시스템 증서 확인, 위반 시 입항 거부 등의 조치를 포함한다.

Reasoning echo

Observed framing link: IMO Anti-Fouling Systems Convention → Korea Ship Navigation Act | Anti-Fouling Systems Convention / prohibit harmful organotin (TBT) → AFS 협약 / 유해 유기주석(TBT) 사용 금지. Not a claim of coordination.

Score Guide

Confidence — Editorial A–D tier from semantic, temporal, and linkage evidence.

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.
