Primes¶
- Mental Model
- Every mental-model claim specifies the domain or scenario represented, the entities and relations the model includes and excludes, the inferential operations it supports (prediction, diagnosis, planning, counterfactual reasoning), and the boundary of correspondence — its accuracy, coverage, and failure modes relative to the target domain.
This sourceComprehensive theory of how mental models underpin human reasoning, language, and imagination; foundational modern treatment.

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.
