Primes¶
- Operational Reach
- Foraging theory formalizes exactly this — the forager's effective range is set by where the energetic support gives out, not by how rich a distant patch is — which is the prime's tip-tail coupling in biological substrate.
This sourceFormalizes optimal foraging, including the net-energy-gain falloff with travel distance that sets a forager's effective range.

- Revealed Preference
- inferring intent from conduct rather than post-hoc characterization. Sociology and family studies: time-use diaries and budget allocations as evidence of household priorities, often contradicting stated value rankings. Conservation and animal behavior: habitat-choice and optimal-foraging studies infer how an animal values food and safety from where it goes and when it stops, since the animal cannot report.
This sourceInfers how an animal values food and safety from observed habitat choice and patch-leaving (optimal-foraging) decisions, since the animal cannot report.

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.
