Primes¶
- Convergent Evolution
- Their causal independence with respect to the outcome is the historically-established fact at the heart of the famous priority dispute: each developed the core ideas of the differential and integral calculus without copying the other, from his own foundations and notation (Newton's fluxions, Leibniz's \(dx\) and \(\int\)), so neither inherited the result from a common source that already had it nor transmitted it to the other — the two exclusions are both discharged.
This sourceEstablishes that Newton and Leibniz developed the calculus independently, from different foundations and notations, despite the priority dispute.

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.
