Primes

• Logistic Growth
  • In technology adoption and cultural diffusion, adoption curves run logistically as adopters generate adopters and the remaining pool shrinks the rate.

    This sourceClassic empirical demonstration that technology-adoption curves follow logistic S-curves: logistic functions (origins, slopes/intrinsic rate, and ceilings) are fitted to the diffusion of hybrid corn across U.S. regions with R² of 0.98+.

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.
