Corrections

Checking this entry found 2 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.

  • 2026-09-25 · Factual correction. Gave the 1906 San Andreas rupture a slip rate and a preceding 1838-1857 strain cycle the sources do not support; it now says the rupture released several metres of right-lateral slip.
  • 2026-09-25 · Factual correction. Listed the 1906 San Francisco and 2023 Turkey-Syria earthquakes as westward-propagating cascades; only the North Anatolian 1939-1999 series is read that way.

Editions

Version Date Change What changed
v4 2026-09-28 A cross-reference to a section that does not exist was removed. The text is otherwise unchanged. prose — detailed body (prose edited)
v3 2026-09-28 Re-parented: the entry now sits under Stress Rupture (typically contains its build-up-and-release pattern where locked) instead of as a subtype of Fault. Added 7 footnotes, including Wilson (1965), Sykes (1967), and Şengör et al. (2005). The 1906 rupture now reads "several metres of right-lateral slip", dropping an unsourced slip rate and prior-cycle claim. prose — detailed body (prose edited) · structure — DAG parents (parent links changed)
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.
