yogsoth-ai Necessity Evaluation
Scores probability of necessity: P(Y would not hold | X absent).
Execution
Subagent — spawned via subagent-spawning/spawn-agent.
Why Subagent
Necessity evaluation requires careful counterfactual reasoning about absence, isolated from sufficiency judgments.
Input
- artifact: The original artifact
- factor: The factor to evaluate for necessity
- conclusion: The conclusion that may depend on this factor
Output
- pn_score: Probability of necessity (0.0–1.0)
- reasoning: Why this factor is/isn't necessary
- alternative_paths: Other ways the conclusion could hold without this factor
- confidence: Confidence in the PN estimate
Budget
One unit = one necessity evaluation per factor.
