Mechanisms

• Coordinate or Basis Transformation
  • Its failure mode is the alias–alibi confusion

    This sourceDistinguishes an alias transformation, which changes coordinates while the object stays fixed, from an alibi transformation, which moves the object in a fixed coordinate system.

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.
