Primes¶
- Law of the Instrument
- Public policy and engineering: the economist reads a policy question as price signals, the sociologist as power and structure, the lawyer as rights and procedures
This sourceShows that policy actors hold disciplinary/professional 'frames' through which the same situation is constructed as different problems (e.g., economic, social, legal), and that intractable controversy follows from frame divergence — supporting the economist/sociologist/lawyer disciplinary-lens claim.

- Problem Framing
- It carries no suggestion that problems are arbitrary or that one frame is as defensible as another: making the boundary, the exclusions and the criterion explicit is what allows two frames to be argued against each other, and a reading that dissolves that comparison removes the only reason to state them.
This sourceDiagnoses intractable policy disputes as conflicts between frames rather than disagreements about facts, and argues that surfacing the competing frames is what makes them available to be compared and argued against one another rather than merely held.

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 3 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.
