Primes¶
- Stochasticity vs. Determinism
- Historical determinism is a thesis about causation and history, whereas the prime is a mathematical and physical distinction between systems whose dynamics admit unique trajectories (deterministic) and those whose dynamics admit multiple trajectories (stochastic), a separation Popper (1982) emphasizes in his critique of historicist conflations.

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.
