Primes

• Comparison
  • The operation is what cognitive scientists, philosophers of method, and statisticians have all converged on as a foundational move of structured thought — Tversky's (1977) feature-matching account treats similarity itself as the output of a comparison process over weighted feature sets, parameterized by direction and salience.
• Contrast
  • Tversky (1977) made this explicit in his feature-contrast model of similarity, showing that perceived similarity and contrast are functions of how features are weighted within a comparison frame, not properties of the objects in isolation.

Domain-specific

• Simile
  • Tversky Features of Similarity 1977, foundational asymmetric comparison model.

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 3 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.
