Primes

• Proportion and Scale
  • The practice originated in sculpture and architecture (the proportions of the human figure, classical orders with fixed proportional ratios) and has evolved into a foundational principle across visual design (graphic design, photography, film), spatial design (architecture, landscape, interior design), product design (ergonomics and use-scaled sizing), and mathematics (understanding scaling laws and fractal relationships)

    Supported in partVerified against the work's full text

    Vitruvius ties temple proportion to the proportions of the human body and gives fixed modular ratios for the orders, but says nothing about the later spread into design fields.

    “corpus enim hominis ita natura composuit uti os capitis a mento ad frontem summam et radices imas capilli esset”

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? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

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.
