Domain-specific¶
- Fallacy of Division
- Informal logic and rhetoric — the canonical whole-to-part taxonomy entry, taught in lockstep with its inverse, the fallacy of composition, as a standing test for the validity of a part-level conclusion. Philosophy of mind and social ontology — flags the slide from "the organization is intelligent" or "the brain is conscious" to a claim about each member or neuron, and recognizing it as a fallacy is what licenses emergent-property talk at those higher levels. Inferential statistics (the ecological fallacy) — the literal same move where the "property" is an aggregate correlation and the "parts" are individuals: a district-level correlation read onto persons, corrected by modeling the levels explicitly (multilevel models) rather than reading one off the other. Legal and policy reasoning — convicts inferences that attribute a group-level statistic (a neighborhood's crime rate, a cohort's default rate) to its individual members, underwriting prohibitions on certain forms of group-based inference about persons
This sourceBook-length treatment of when law and policy may, and may not, apply a group-level statistical generalisation to an individual; content not independently verified at Stage 4.

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.
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.
