Primes¶
- Compatibility
- A Unix shell command and a Python script are loosely coupled: they interact via standard pipes; if either is improved, the other continues working—the canonical illustration of the Unix philosophy described by Kernighan and Pike (1984), in which power emerges from relationships among small, composable programs sharing a uniform text-stream interface.
This sourceCanonical exposition of the Unix philosophy: develops pipes, filters, and standardized text streams as a discipline of loose coupling in which small programs achieve composability through interface compatibility rather than tight integration, on the thesis that the power of the system comes from the relationships among programs.
Supported in partVerified against the work's full text
Kernighan and Pike state the relationships-among-programs philosophy and show text-line filter conventions enabling pipelines; they do not state the improve-one-and-the-other-still-works robustness point.
“at its heart is the idea that the power of a system comes more from the relationships among programs than from the programs themselves.”

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? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
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.
