**Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 disappearance**

Analysis

MH370 is the Wave-1 principled unknown test.

The record supports different claims at different strengths:

A conventional article tends to compress those into a narrative route and then attach a vague "cause unknown." Counterpedia can expose the layers themselves:

observed signal → derived measurement → model assumption → probabilistic search area → search result → updated model

direct radar/communications observations;

satellite-derived geometric constraints;

aircraft-performance constraints;

model-dependent route probabilities;

physical debris identification;

negative search evidence;

retrospective technical inferences;

propositions investigators explicitly could not resolve.

Temporal bounds

Core casualty/investigation corpus: March 2014–July 2018. Search/model corpus: 2014–2026, because later debris, sonar reanalysis, and renewed Ocean Infinity searches materially update where the aircraft is not known to be and which areas remain candidates.

Questions in the research record

C-1 — Manual control likely ≠ named-pilot intent established · question / dispute
C-2 — Home simulator evidence exists ≠ MH370 route rehearsal established · question / dispute
C-3 — Southern Indian Ocean strongly inferred ≠ exact crash site known · question / dispute
C-4 — Search-area changes are model updates, not necessarily factual contradiction · question / dispute
C-5 — High-confidence search exclusion ≠ positive location elsewhere · question / dispute
C-6 — BFO/end-of-flight evidence reduces controlled-ditching scenarios ≠ categorical proof · question / dispute
C-7 — Debris identification has graded confidence · question / dispute
C-8 — Early drift-model error has bounded consequences · question / dispute
C-9 — "Prospective areas exhausted based on analysis to date" vs later renewed searches · question / dispute
C-10 — Cause unknown ≠ evidence absent · question / dispute
C-11 — Search phase ended ≠ search program ended · question / dispute

Boundary

"The crash site" is not directly observed.

semantic trap / refusal

Boundary

A satellite arc is not a GPS position.

semantic trap / refusal

Boundary

"Southern Indian Ocean" can be strongly supported while exact impact coordinates remain unknown.

semantic trap / refusal

Boundary

"Likely manual control" does not identify the person at the controls.

semantic trap / refusal

Boundary

Evidence from the captain's home simulator is not evidence that the simulator reproduced MH370's actual route.

semantic trap / refusal

Boundary

Confirmed debris, almost-certain debris, and suspected debris are distinct evidentiary states.

semantic trap / refusal

Boundary

A search area being eliminated at high confidence does not prove a specific alternative location; it supplies negative evidence to the next inference step.

semantic trap / refusal

Boundary

"Search concluded" is temporally dangerous.

semantic trap / refusal

Boundary

Malaysia led the Annex 13 safety investigation; Australia led much of the southern Indian Ocean search and recovery effort.

semantic trap / refusal

Boundary

A safety-investigation conclusion that cause is unknown does not mean the entire record is unknowable.

semantic trap / refusal
