Mechanisms¶
- Revealed Preference Consistency Matrix
- Its strength is that it validates the existence of a stable preference before anyone tries to estimate its shape: if the choice history is cyclic, there is no coherent indifference map to recover, and the matrix says so cleanly, pinpointing the offending choices.
This sourceShows how a revealed-preference matrix tests whether observed choices admit a coherent utility representation and identifies the observation pairs involved in cyclic violations.

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.
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.
