Primes¶
- Bricolage
- The transfer fails productively as well: an engineering education that treats bricolage as an embarrassing predecessor to proper design loses the ability to operate in the low-resource conditions where bricolage is the only available move — surgeons in war zones, public servants in austerity, engineers improvising a scrubber from tape and cardboard in a crippled spacecraft cannot be served by an engineering frame alone, and recognising bricolage as a legitimate structural mode rather than a failure of planning is itself a transferable correction.
This sourceDocuments the jury-rigged carbon-dioxide scrubber adapter the Apollo 13 crew built from materials on board (CM lithium-hydroxide canisters, plastic bags, cardboard, hose, duct tape) to fit incompatible LM fittings — the canonical high-stakes improvised-engineering case.

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.
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.
