Mechanisms¶
- Network Mixing Protocol
- Its strength is that it converts latent variety into actual recombination — the value of diverse lineages is only realised when they cross, and engineered weak-tie contact is a well-attested route to novel combinations that in-group gravity suppresses.
This sourceShows how brokerage across homogeneous groups brings otherwise separated variation into contact, enabling selection and synthesis of new ideas.

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. 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.
