Primes¶
- Horizon Scanning
- T5: Speed of scanning cycle vs maturity of significance assessment.
This sourceDevelops the "future signs" framework distinguishing the signal, the issue, and the interpretation; clarifies why rapid-cycle scanning detects fluctuations whereas slower cycles permit maturation of weak signals into actionable foresight.

- Weak Signals & Emerging Issues
- Source-landscape drift — the institutional obsolescence of peripheral-source inventories as the locus of pre-mainstream activity migrates across platforms and communities — is a property Hiltunen (2008) flags as one of the three constitutive dimensions of future signs: the signal, the issue, and the interpreter, all of which evolve.

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. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a 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.
