| Honesty | Being free from deceit; truthful and sincere. | Veracity encompasses honesty but extends beyond it to include accuracy and completeness. | A software engineer admitting a mistake in their code, even if it could delay a project. |
| Integrity | Adherence to moral and ethical principles; soundness of moral character. | Veracity is a key component of integrity. A person with integrity consistently acts in accordance with truth. | A company refusing to sell user data, even if it’s legal and profitable, because it violates their privacy policy. |
| Accuracy | The quality of being true, correct, or exact; free from error. | Accuracy is essential for veracity. Inaccurate information, even if unintentional, violates veracity. | A data scientist ensuring that their machine learning model is properly validated and doesn’t produce biased results. |
| Transparency | Operating in such a way that it is easy for others to see what actions are performed. | Transparency supports veracity by making it easier to verify the truthfulness of claims and actions. | A company publishing its source code and documentation for public review and scrutiny. |
Okay, I did "PSI" and "veracity", but I'm not sure if I'm on the same wavelength with you. Particle or Probability? Gravity would like to box that in, but don't let it slow your roll.
