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)0.816

Computed with intfloat/multilingual-e5-small multilingual embeddings. Display score is a calibrated mapping of the raw cross-lingual cosine (0.816); 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 54/100 (multilingual e5 embedding) — a computed signal, not proof.

Similarity type: norm diffusion — WHO mental health service model echo

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

Curated

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

Global purpose

Strengthen mental-health and suicide-prevention law under WHO mental-health frameworks via successive Korean acts.

Korean purpose

「정신건강증진 및 정신질환자 복지서비스 지원에 관한 법률」 개정(2024.10.22). 「자살예방 및 생명존중문화 조성을 관한 법률」 개정(2025.11.11).

Reasoning echo

Observed framing link: norm diffusion — WHO mental health service model echo. Not a claim of coordination.

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.
