About SyloSpace

SyloSpace is a place to understand something properly, and keep understanding it as it changes. Each question gets one living page: the answer first, what it rests on, and what people who know the subject add.

How a page is made

  1. A question. Someone searches for something no page answers yet, or our editors choose a question people are asking, often prompted by the news.
  2. Research. We search published research (Europe PMC and OpenAlex), reference material (Wikipedia) and, for news, reputable reporting.
  3. Choosing sources. AI picks the strongest few that address the question directly, preferring reviews of many studies, large trials and official statistics.
  4. Drafting. AI writes the page from those sources only. Every statement is labelled with what it rests on: evidence, experience, opinion or interpretation.
  5. Checks. Automated checks refuse a draft that cites anything that isn't one of the page's sources, or that fails our harmful-content screen. A page about a specific news event must rest on an actual report of it.
  6. Publishing. Pages that pass are published automatically and labelled as AI-prepared. A person doesn't check each one before it goes live; staff review pages that are flagged, challenged or reported.
  7. Improving. Anyone signed in can add evidence, experience or disagreement, and challenge a source. When the evidence or the story moves, the page is redrafted and every change is kept in its history.

Editorial standards

  • Answer first, then the evidence. The short answer says how sure it is, and what's still uncertain is said plainly.
  • News is built on a named report, dated, with confirmed facts kept apart from what's only reported.
  • Rumours and leaks are covered only when a named outlet reports them, titled as a question (“Is a company making a product?”), never stated as fact.
  • Copies aren't confirmation. Several outlets repeating one report count as one source.
  • We don't cover private individuals, personal gossip, crimes or disasters framed around their victims, or investment tips, and we don't take sides in elections.
  • Polls are opinion, not proof. Reader polls come from self-selected people and are never presented as representative.

Corrections

Every page has a public history of how it changed and why. If something is wrong, challenge the source on the page or report a problem; the affected passage is flagged while it's reviewed. Pages that can't be fixed are taken down rather than left misleading.
