Primes

• Conjunctive Path Activation
  • In epidemiology, the sufficient-component-cause model makes disease occur under the AND of a sufficient set of component causes, none necessary or sufficient alone.
• Overdetermination
  • In each domain, the causal semantics and proof standard differ, yet the structural question is the same: how many actual complete routes to this effect were present, and would each have remained sufficient under removal of the others?

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. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a 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.
