Primes¶
- Thick Description
- Incident post-mortems and safety reviews — a strong post-mortem records not only the failure steps but the operator's mental model, fatigue state, on-call context, and prior incident class; a bare-fact write-up cannot support learning.
This sourceArticulates the "new view" of human error, replacing thin records of procedural deviation with thick reconstruction of the operator's context, tooling, and mental model so that the action's local rationality is recoverable.

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. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Was it audited? Yes. A second, independent pass read the citation against the article text and recorded a verdict.
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.
