Belief Model

What a Belief Represents

A BeliefSync belief is a structured claim about the current state of a repository.

Each belief should answer:

• what the agent currently believes
• where that belief applies
• what evidence supports it
• under what repository version it was last known to be valid

Core Belief Types

• bug_localization
• api_contract
• test_expectation
• requirement
• dependency

Why This Matters

The core idea behind BeliefSync is that agent failures in dynamic repositories often come from stale assumptions, not only missing context.

That means a useful state layer must model:

• the belief itself
• the evidence behind it
• the repository region it touches
• the events that may invalidate it
