Scenarios about 'knowledge validation'
Knowledge validation refers to the process of verifying information, theories, or beliefs against established criteria to determine their accuracy and reliability.

In alternate history scenarios, knowledge validation becomes particularly crucial for distinguishing between historical facts, plausible divergences, and purely speculative elements.
