CSuggestive similarity

Evidence tier

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.

Linkage

No recorded linkage

Multilingual semantic similarity

cosine similarity (method detail)0.817

Computed with intfloat/multilingual-e5-small multilingual embeddings. Display score is a calibrated mapping of the raw cross-lingual cosine (0.817); 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.

Matched concepts: hazardous materials inventory (IHM) ↔ 유해화학물질 목록(IHM); ship recycling facility certification ↔ 시설인증

Cross-lingual similarity 55/100 (multilingual e5 embedding) — a computed signal, not proof.

Similarity type: treaty implementation — IMO maritime regulation echo

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

Agenda Arc

Curated

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

Global purpose

Carry UN rules into domestic effect: align Korea under IMO Ship Recycling Convention.

Korean purpose

선박재활용법안(2024.11 발의, 조경태 의원): 홍콩협약 국내이행. 유해화학물질 목록(IHM) 의무·시설인증·정부 주도 R&D 및 국제협력.

Reasoning echo

Observed framing link: treaty implementation — IMO maritime regulation echo. 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.
