Veritula implements a *recursive* epistemology. For a criticism to be outstanding, it can’t have any outstanding criticisms itself, and so on, in a deeply nested fashion.↵

def criticized? idea↵
outstanding_criticisms(idea).any?↵

def outstanding_criticisms idea↵
criticisms(idea).filter { |c| outstanding_criticisms(c).none? }↵

This approach is different from non-recursive epistemologies, which handle criticisms differently. For example, they might not consider deeply nested criticisms when determining whether an idea is currently criticized.Veritula implements a recursive epistemology.
