VerificationRefusal names the resistance of a fact, subject or phenomenon to the conditions imposed for proving that it exists. A verification system recognises only what can submit to its instruments, categories and timelines. Refusal may therefore reveal not the absence of the phenomenon but the inadequacy of the test. The operator does not place every unverified claim beyond scrutiny. It asks whether the demanded proof measures the reality in question or merely reproduces the architecture through which recognition has already been distributed.
