Corrections

Checking this entry found 3 errors, now corrected: against its sources, or where it contradicted itself or its arithmetic did not hold. Each is listed here so a reader can see what changed. How references were checked.

  • 2026-09-28 · Factual correction. Called a set of related patterns, two of them missing from the catalog, the parents of the blockage-release dynamic; the sentence now says only that it sits among Cascade and Escape and Leakage.
  • 2026-09-28 · Factual correction. Said the outburst of a lake dammed by eruption debris dominates an eruption's local damage; Spirit Lake at Mount St. Helens was stabilised by a tunnel, and such breakouts are now called a serious flood hazard.
  • 2026-09-28 · Factual correction. Called the time to failure of landslide dams short-tailed, contradicting its own account; the distribution is short and heavily right-skewed.

Version Date Change What changed
v3 2026-09-28 First citations: 6 claims in this entry now cite 3 sources, each footnote saying what that source supports; 1 claim is marked citation pending. 9 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)

Editions are cut at publish time from a content hash of the entity's canonical source, so a version changes only when the content actually changed. Full canonical content for every edition, and the exact per-part diffs between them, are in the downloadable editions archive (editions_archive.jsonl); the current-state index is versions.jsonl.
