Primes

  • … shows historically that interchangeable parts—the canonical instance of engineered substitutability—did not arise from individual genius but from the combined development of jigs, gauges, inspection regimes, and shared specifications across firms, an institutional infrastructure that took most of a century to mature.

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.
