Primes

• Wild Cards
  • The middle band — nameable events at very low probability — tends to fall into a planning gap, the territory Bostrom and Ćirković (2008) survey in Global Catastrophic Risks: too unlikely for routine attention, too nameable to require only generic resilience.

    This sourceEdited volume systematizing the analysis of low-probability, civilization-scale risks (pandemic, asteroid impact, nuclear war, AI risk, climate tipping points); supplies the catastrophic-risk vocabulary that populates governmental wild-card registers. Builds on Bostrom's earlier framing of existential risk in Journal of Evolution and Technology 9, no. 1 (2002).

Domain-specific

• Global catastrophic risk
  • Descriptive risk-analysis identity only; response planning requires domain experts, democratic governance, safety and security controls, uncertainty communication, and avoidance of operational harmful detail.

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.
