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.
