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)0.785

Computed with intfloat/multilingual-e5-small multilingual embeddings. Display score is a calibrated mapping of the raw cross-lingual cosine (0.785); 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.

Matched concepts: territorial sea (12 nautical miles) ↔ 영해 (12해리); contiguous zone (24 nautical miles) ↔ 접속수역 (24해리); right of innocent passage ↔ 무해통항권; straight baselines ↔ 직선기선

Cross-lingual similarity 34/100 (multilingual e5 embedding) — a computed signal, not proof.

Original (Global)

UNCLOS Part II establishes the territorial sea up to 12 nm where the coastal State exercises sovereignty, subject to innocent passage, and the contiguous zone for enforcement of customs and other laws.

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.
