Primes¶
- Equivocation
- Science and measurement — a constant or unit ("calorie," "mass" pre- and post-relativity) used identically in equations across paradigms that define it differently.
This sourceDocuments Kuhn's semantic incommensurability — key terms such as 'mass' denoting different things in Newtonian versus relativistic paradigms, so the same symbol used identically across paradigms names two distinct referents.

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. The single citation of this work carries no 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.
