Knowledge of higher-level regularities does not presuppose knowledge of the finer details of the system.
“It is well-received in both the philosophical and the computer science literature that knowledge of such higher-level regularities does not presuppose knowledge of the finer details of the system”

“They do not even have to be limited to madiematics and logic, given the work in AI to use predicate logic (eg, resolution) as the symbol level structures for robot tasks of spatial manipulation and movement, as well as for many other sorts of tasks (Nilsson, 1980).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
