Primes¶
- Cultural Diffusion
- The contagion-versus-threshold distinction captures two mechanisms: some ideas spread through simple contact (contagion: my neighbor adopts, I'm slightly more likely to; the effect is local and accumulative), while others spread through threshold effects (I adopt only if a critical mass in my reference group has already adopted; there is a tipping point)
This sourcePopular exposition of contagion / tipping-point dynamics in social epidemics and cascades; supplies the contagion-vs-threshold framing on marker 126.

The publisher's description of Gladwell's book states the threshold/tipping-point idea, but shows nothing of contact-contagion or of a two-mechanism contrast.
“The tipping point is that magic moment when an idea, trend, or social behavior crosses a threshold, tips, and spreads like wildfire.”

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 2 citations: 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.
