Domain-specific¶
- Fallacy of Division
- Its structural inverse is the fallacy of composition (inferring from parts to whole), and the pair share a common diagnosis: they ignore that level of analysis matters, that predicates carry implicit quantifiers (applies to the collection, applies to every member, applies to some member), and that emergent properties at the higher level are not automatically present at the lower
This sourceThe scholarly treatment of composition and division as a paired inverse turning on the collective-versus-distributive reading of a predicate; the emergence clause is the encyclopedia's own extension and is not sourced to it.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
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.
