Primes¶
- Causality
This sourceDispositional-powers account grounding causation in the intrinsic causal powers of entities, realized in their capacity to produce characteristic effects; holds that causes do not necessitate effects.
- Latent Realizable Capacity
- The structural commitment is that the property is real and predicable even when no manifestation is occurring: salt has its solubility while sitting dry in the jar; a fuse has its breaking-current while no current flows; a shareholder has voting power between meetings; a function exists in source code whether or not it has been called.
This sourceDevelops the dispositional ontology of powers that exist in a bearer continuously and manifest only under triggering conditions, grounding solubility, fragility, and similar standing-capacity ascriptions.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
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.
