1. Conceptual Foundation of Verification
Verification theory provides the philosophical and methodological foundation of the MAAPCS system. Here, 'verification' does not mean a simple data-checking procedure. It means a strict protocol-based procedure that systematically confirms the structural consistency of documents and judgment materials according to predefined structures and rules.
While verification in the traditional sense has mainly focused on confirming facts, MAAPCS verification theory places the concept of 'structural consistency' at its core. Structural consistency means the degree to which a specific document or material satisfies the formal, substantive, and logical conditions required within a legal and procedural framework. For example, systematically confirming whether a complaint contains all legally required essential statements and whether a judgment clearly shows the logical connection between fact-finding and application of law is the subject of structural consistency verification.
2. Four Major Components of Verification
Every verification procedure begins by clearly defining the following four components.
- Object of Decomposition: the document or material that becomes the object of verification. It may be a single document or a set composed of multiple documents.
- Comparison Standard: the conditions or rules that the object of decomposition must satisfy. This may include laws, regulations, precedents, or protocols agreed in advance, and it cannot be changed during verification.
- State Assignment Conditions: the specific conditions that determine what state each verification item will be assigned.
- Verification Completion Conditions: the conditions that define when the entire verification procedure may be terminated.
3. In-Depth Analysis of the State Assignment System
The core of MAAPCS verification theory is the state assignment system composed of five state symbols.
- Y State (No Structural Violation): means that the relevant verification item fully satisfies the comparison standard.
- N State (Structural Violation Exists): means that one or more violations have been found.
- N2 State (Repeated, Accumulated, or Structured Violation): indicates repetition of the same type of violation, accumulation of multiple violations, or structural internalization.
- U State (Unable to Form Judgment): applies where judgment cannot be made due to insufficient materials or because the procedure has not been carried out.
- X State (Structural Non-Applicability): applies where the verification item cannot be applied due to the nature of the matter.
4. Structure and Relationship of the State Space
The states assigned to each verification item form a complex network of relationships.
- The X State has the nature of a 'procedural state' that identifies items excluded from the verification target.
- The U State and the Y/N/N2 States are all 'verification result states,' but the U State differs in that it represents a reserved judgment.
- Among the Y, N, and N2 States, a hierarchical relationship is established according to the seriousness of the violation: Y < N < N2
5. Statistical Analysis Methodology
MAAPCS verification theory includes a mathematically based statistical analysis methodology.
- Parameter Set M = the set obtained by excluding X-State items from the entire verification item set I. M = I - { i | f(i)=X }
M = I - { i | f(i)=X }
- Definitive Judgment Set C = the set of items assigned Y, N, or N2 States. C = { i | f(i) ∈ {Y, N, N2} }
C = { i | f(i) ∈ {Y, N, N2} }
Based on this, statistical indicators such as the verification compliance rate and violation severity index are calculated.
6. Operating Principle of the Verification Engine
The MAAPCS verification engine is designed as a rule-based system and automatically verifies structural consistency between documents according to a predefined verification protocol. Major target documents include complaint, answer, judgment, and protocol records.
Each verification result includes the specific location and content in the document that served as the basis for judgment, and every verification process is recorded in detail so that it can be traced.
