Primes¶
- Idempotence
- Idempotence is the property of an operation whose effect is identical whether applied once or any greater number of times —
f(f(x)) = f(x)for all relevantx— so that repetition adds nothing beyond the first application and the operation is safe to retry, replay, or duplicate in environments where delivery or execution is uncertain. The algebraic identity traces to Boole (1854), who establishedx · x = xas a defining law in the algebra of logic.This sourceWalton and Maberly. (Foundational algebraic logic text; establishes `x · x = x` as first formal statement of idempotency in algebraic structures; later formalized by Schröder and Huntington.)

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.
Was it audited? Yes. A second, independent pass read the citation against the article text and recorded a verdict.
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.
