Primes¶
- Reversibility and Irreversibility
- The structural insight is that reversibility itself is a design choice—not a fixed property but something systems can be architected to enable or constrain, a perspective Heckel (1991) advanced in framing reversibility (undo) as a first-class design principle in human-facing software.
This sourceSybex. Articulates reversibility (undo) as a designed-in property of software systems rather than a fixed feature; reversibility as a deliberate design choice to support exploration and error recovery.

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. 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.
