BProbable echo

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.

Probable echo

Semantic

Strong semantic alignment

Temporal

Global precedent precedes Korea

Linkage

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

Tier B — Probable echo — agency/committee linkage + global-first timing + semantic signal

Multilingual semantic similarity

cosine similarity (method detail)0.825

Computed with intfloat/multilingual-e5-small multilingual embeddings. Display score is a calibrated mapping of the raw cross-lingual cosine (0.825); higher means closer meaning. Reflects semantic similarity, not proof of causation.

Aligned sentences

The UN Plastics Treaty addresses the full lifecycle of plastics with EPR, single-use plastics reduction, and recycled content mandates.

aligned

자원재활용법은 EPR 확대, 1회용품 규제, 재생원료 의무화를 통해 UN 플라스틱 협약의 핵심 메커니즘을 선제적으로 국내법화하였다.

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.

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.
