Primes

• Inertia
  • identifies inertial mass with gravitational mass through the equivalence principle, making inertia a geometric effect of spacetime curvature. Elementary-particle inertia: The Higgs mechanism (Higgs 1964)
• Symmetry
  • Anderson-Higgs-style spontaneous symmetry breaking
• Symmetry Breaking
  • This mechanism was independently discovered by Higgs

Domain-specific

• Scalar field
  • The entry records a descriptive analytical identity; practical use requires the governing domain's evidence, standards, and safety obligations.

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

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.
