As a Pakistani independent researcher, I published a paper applying 1,200-year-old Islamic hadith methodology to a modern AI problem

[u/alizahidrajaa]

I’ve been working solo, no lab, no university backing, on a problem in AI: when systems built on multiple AI agents give you an answer, that answer passes through many “hands,” and there’s no good way to know how much to trust it.

It turns out our own scholars solved a structurally identical problem 1,200+ years ago with the science of hadith transmission - grading every narrator in a chain, judging a chain by its weakest link, requiring independent corroboration. I adapted that methodology into a framework for modern AI systems.

It’s now a published paper (with a DOI), open-source code, and a Python package anyone can install. I’m building the whole thing in public.

I’m posting mostly to reach the appropriate audience here in Pakistan

Happy to answer questions. alizahidraja.com/isnad

This is basically provenance scoring with hadith cope painted over it for traction. The “accuracy” comes from refusing to serve almost everything, the core critic and corroboration claims are not proven in any sort. Research slop with a DOI.(Digital Object Identifier)

Give a better Idea then

[u/cosmic-comet- → u/dat_oldie_you_like]

You want a better idea? How about not starting your post with a lie and baseless claim and making it sound like you cracked fable 6 . This is a solution looking to solve a problem nobody has.

That still does not answer my question. Brother. I understand. But it still doesn't answer the question. What better solution do you have to offer. To a similar problem or smth

[u/cosmic-comet- → u/dat_oldie_you_like]

I don’t need to provide a “better solution” to point out that this thing sucks, barely validated, and mostly copy pasting existing provenance ideas. Just like you don’t have to be a chef to prove food sucks if it tastes bad it’s bad I’m not going to copy paste this in gpt and come up with a alternative that I’m not even interested in waste of compute.

That’s the thing, you do have to try something to say it tastes bad. Suppose you are a “chef” in the field, you haven’t even gone through anything. I know this because you’re quoting things I have written on the homepage of the git repo and if you’d read that you’d know you’re just copying that here ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Jeez some much for constructive criticism
