Primes¶
- Circuit Breaker
- The circuit breaker originates in electrical engineering, where Thomas Edison patented an early overcurrent cutoff and the modern resettable breaker displaced the one-shot fuse, but the prime names something domain-neutral: a sensing element, a trip threshold, an actuator that opens the path, an isolation boundary that confines the damage, and a reset gate that governs re-engagement.
This sourceUnited States Patent Office. Edison's enclosed-fuse / fuse-block overcurrent safety device (the cylindrical successor to the open lead 'safety wire' first installed on the Pearl Street system in Dec. 1881), establishing the electrical-engineering origin of the overcurrent cutoff that the resettable breaker later displaced and grounding the prime's native component decomposition (093).

Edison's 1890 patent describes a fusible safety-catch that breaks the circuit on abnormal current, supporting the electrical origin, but it is a lightning-arrester fuse and says nothing of breakers or the domain-neutral decomposition.
“The passage of an abnormal electric current fuses the safety-catch and breaks the circuit, as will be understood.”

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? 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.
