# the judge

**The judge picture of proof and truth**

Provable is “the judge ruled on it”. True is “the ruling matches what actually happened”. Consistent is “the judge never issues two contradictory rulings”.

A judge can be consistent and still wrong, because never contradicting yourself does not mean you are right. Consistency is the weakest of the three. It only says the system does not blow up.
