Primes¶
- Anachronism
- Following Bloch (1949), a binding-period violation in which an element with a specific historical locus is instantiated in a context whose locus is different.
This sourceArmand Colin. Annales-school treatment of historical method that names anachronism 'among all sins, in regard to a science of time, the most unforgivable,' insisting elements be understood within their own period — supports the binding-period-violation signature (D40-062).

- Comparative Method
- Marc Bloch's methodological treatise Apologie pour l'histoire (1949, published in English as The Historian's Craft) insisted that historians name their comparative procedures and defend them against the charge that comparison across radically different historical contexts is inevitably anachronistic or reductive.
This sourceAnnales-school reflection on historical method; insists the historian name and defend comparative procedures against the charge of anachronism — supports the Clarity claim. (Citation-fix: the prior annotation described source criticism of witness testimony, a copy-paste leftover not matching this marker's claim.)

- Historical Empathy
- The structural pattern parallels what Bloch (1949) calls the historian's craft of judging past actions by what evidence shows was knowable at the time: a new engineering lead reviewing architectural decisions made five years ago finds several that look obviously wrong today.
This sourceClassic Annales-school treatment of source criticism: witness testimony must be interrogated at the point of utterance, never presumed truth-bearing.

- Primary vs. Secondary Sources
- The classification is not a reliability ranking — primary sources can be biased, partial, or fabricated, and secondary sources can be more reliable than any single primary source when they triangulate across many, a point Bloch (1949) makes in treating witness testimony as material to be interrogated at the point of utterance rather than presumed truth-bearing.

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 4 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.
