3 citations across 3 artifacts.

Each citation links to the sentence it supports in the citing article.

Primes

• Eventual Realisation of Possibility
  • Engineering reliability: any failure mode the physics permits will eventually be observed in a fleet of sufficient size or service life; failure-mode-and-effects analysis is the cataloguing discipline this prime underwrites.

    This sourceEstablishes FMECA as the discipline of systematically cataloguing every probable failure mode and ranking it by severity — the cataloguing practice underwriting the claim that any physically permitted failure mode is eventually observed in a large-enough fleet.

• Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)
  • The causal chain mapping from root cause through failure mode to system-level effect

Domain-specific

• Murphy's Law
  • Aerospace — the originating habitat at Edwards AFB rocket-sled testing; central to NASA go/no-go safety culture and foundational to FMECA (failure modes, effects, and criticality analysis).

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 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.
