Primes¶
- Epistemic Action
- Air-traffic control with flight strips instantiates the prime in a safety-critical operations substrate, and recognising it as epistemic action governed a generation of system-design debate.
This sourceDocuments controllers' physical manipulation of paper flight strips as epistemic action and the situational-awareness costs of stripless electronic replacements.

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.
Was it audited? Yes. A second, independent pass read the citation against the article text and recorded a verdict.
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.
