Primes¶
- Reductionism
- Philosophy of science: the classic program of reducing thermodynamics to statistical mechanics, chemistry to physics, and biology to biochemistry, framed as inter-theoretic reduction in which the laws of the higher theory are derived from those of the lower together with bridge principles linking their vocabularies.
This sourceRefines the model of inter-theoretic reduction and the role of bridge principles (and corrected analog theories) linking the vocabularies of the reducing and reduced theories.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
