Related by one name in sibling folders#

This page is generated from the code and must not be edited by hand.

Two files with the same name in side-by-side folders whose names say nothing about which came first (left/a.tif and right/a.tif) are suggested as related, with neither said to be made from the other; never inside an installed program.

related_by_one_name_in_sibling_folders version 1

  • Kind of rule: Pairs suggested for a look (proposes). Proposes that two files are related in one of the eight ways, for a person to look at. A proposal is never a conclusion.

  • What it concludes: concerns

  • Reasoning: defeasible. A conclusion is usually right, and is retracted when a rule it names concludes against it.

  • What it reads: one file at a time

  • Where it looks for pairs: within one_name_in_sibling_folders

Is it available in this version?#

Yes. The engine runs it.

What would defeat it#

What this rule concludes about something is withdrawn when any of these rules concludes about the same thing:

  • installed_software_in_folder: A folder is recognized as an installed program, such as a copy of Fiji or a Python environment, from the parts it holds, a name ending .app, its program-style subfolders or a majority of program files; its files are still indexed and read, and rules about experiments leave them alone.
