Primes

• Punctuated Equilibrium
  • But it is a loading phase, not equilibrium: tectonic plates move steadily while friction locks the fault, so elastic strain — the accumulating latent load — builds in the surrounding crust, held back by the fault's static friction (the absorbing constraint).

    This sourceStates the elastic-rebound theory: strain accumulates on a locked fault until frictional strength is exceeded and releases in a sudden rupture.

• Stress and Rupture
  • The locking or constraint of accumulated load through friction, elastic storage, suppression mechanisms, or institutional rigidity, such that external behavior gives little warning of approaching threshold

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. 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.
