Primes

• Resilience
  • Every resilience claim specifies (1) the system whose resilience is being asserted, (2) the class of disturbances the system is expected to absorb, (3) the standard of "continued functioning" (identity, essential function, performance threshold), and (4) the mechanism by which the system resists, recovers, or adapts, as Carpenter, Walker, Anderies, and Abel (2001) argue in moving resilience from metaphor to measurement

    This sourceArgues that every resilience claim must specify the system, the disturbance class, the standard of continued function, and the mechanism — the "of what, to what" formulation that turns resilience from a metaphor into a measurable property.

    Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract

    The abstract requires specifying system configuration and disturbance class ('of what, to what'), but it states no required standard of continued functioning and no mechanism clause.

    “To assess a system's resilience, one must specify which system configuration and which disturbances are of interest.”

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.

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.
