What is a korent?
A korent is one claim, held in the present tense: something you currently believe, dated, with the source that convinced you. The word is “current” spelled with a K, and pronounced the same way.
A post ends. A korent doesn't.
A post is finished the moment you publish it. It says what you thought at 14:32 on a Tuesday, and it will say that forever; change your mind, and the post doesn't. A korent stays live. It has a present value, like the current reading on an instrument, and when your view moves the korent moves with it — keeping every earlier reading on the record. That is why every one of them starts from the same sentence: Currently, I believe… Not “I said” — I hold it, now. “Current” is the right root because that is the claim's defining property: not that you once said it, but that you hold it today.
Beliefs also drift the way things in a current do — gradually, and mostly without you noticing. Writing yours down, dated, is how you notice.
Why the K
Honestly: because “current” was taken — by electricity, by the news, by every second adjective in this paragraph. It is a fine word and an unusable noun. The K marks it as this site's own object: a korent is not a current-events feed or a unit of charge, it is one claim with a page, a set of holders, and a history. It also makes the thing findable, which a word that common never is.
Yes, it is a pun. The site permits itself exactly one invented noun, and this is it — everything else here is called what it is: a position, a source, a change of mind.
Concretely
One claim is one page. Everyone who holds it appears there, with their own note and their own source; revise yours and the page keeps both versions. The rest of the vocabulary is on the about page.
