Mechanisms¶
- Binding Error Audit
- It also inherits the asymmetry of the two error classes
This sourceDistinguishes false-match and false-nonmatch errors and shows how class imbalance affects their evaluation.
- It also inherits the asymmetry of the two error classes
- Deduplication Workflow
- Its worst outcome is the false-positive merge — two genuinely different people fused into one record because the matching was too eager or the scope too broad, an error that is far harder to detect and undo after the fact than a missed duplicate.
This sourceDefines a false match as linking records that belong to different entities, distinct from missing a true duplicate.

- Entity-Trajectory Projection
- Resolution is inference, not fact: fuse two keys wrongly and you splice a stranger's events into someone's history; split one entity's keys and you show a truncated arc that hides what happened — and both errors produce a confident, coherent-looking trajectory that is simply about the wrong entity.
This sourceTreats entity resolution as uncertain data matching and classification rather than an observed fact.

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. Neither this nor any other of the 3 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.
