Intrinsic Evidence

Intrinsic evidence in the context of general knowledge refers to information or details that are inherent within a text, document, or artifact itself. This type of evidence is derived from the content, structure, and context of the material, rather than from external sources. For instance, a literary work can provide intrinsic evidence about its themes and characters through its language and plot. Intrinsic evidence is useful for analyzing and interpreting the significance of the material without relying on outside context or external interpretations.
