Primes¶
- Coordination
- A single actor does not need coordination (one musician, one agent); coordination emerges when two or more actors must synchronize action toward a goal none can achieve alone, a structural definition Malone and Crowston (1994) developed in their interdisciplinary theory of coordination.
This sourceCross-domain synthesis defining coordination as managing dependencies among activities; establishes that coordination problems emerge whenever multiple actors must align actions toward goals none can achieve alone.

The survey's abstract confirms Malone and Crowston framed coordination as the interdisciplinary study of managing dependencies among activities, but does not state the claim's 'two or more actors... goal none can achieve alone' clause.
“A key insight of the framework presented here is that coordination can be seen as the process of managing dependencies among activities.”

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? 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.
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.
