  • 2026-09-28 · Factual correction. Listed commander's intent among handover procedures, though the entry itself describes it as a doctrine that pushes authority outward; the lists now name only relief-in-place and pilot-in-command handoffs.
  • 2026-09-28 · Factual correction. Said Storm King (1994) and 9/11 drove the codification of the Incident Command System; ICS was developed through FIRESCOPE in the 1970s, and those events drove the mandating of NIMS.

Version Date Change What changed
v4 2026-09-28 Three footnote titles (NFPA 1561, HSPD-5 and the Las Vegas emergency-department account) now link to the cited work. The South Canyon Fire footnote now credits the USDA, Interior and Commerce departments as authors, titled Report of the South Canyon Fire Accident Investigation Team (SCAIT), published by the U.S. Government Printing Office. prose — detailed body (prose edited)
v3 2026-09-28 First citations: 7 claims in this entry now cite 7 sources, each footnote saying what that source supports. 4 passages corrected against the sources that establish them, with independent review, in both the full and concise versions. prose — concise body (prose edited), detailed body (prose edited)
v2 2026-09-19 Both layers now take their origin domain from one shared 65-domain roster. The domain-specific layer had drifted to 2,744 free-text domain labels, most used once and many just restating the entry's own subdomain, sharing only 18 of them with the closed list the primes used — so the same domain name meant different things in the two layers and their counts could not be read together. All 2,716 off-roster labels were mapped onto the roster, and the finer specialty each entry was authored with was kept as its subdomain, now a list rather than a single value; subdomains that only repeated the domain under an older or broader name were dropped. The prime side no longer reads a hand-maintained registry that had fallen behind the corpus — the Mathematics page listed 66 primes when 154 claimed the domain — and the 61 primes carrying no origin domain at all were classified. Every domain also rolls up into one of eight groups, shown on each entry and browsable in its own right. structure — origin (fields changed)
