- Deep Time
- T3: Uniformitarian projection versus regime-change acknowledgment.
This sourceJohn Murray. Systematized uniformitarianism: present processes operating at present rates suffice to explain past change, supplying the inference rule extending observable rates over deep-time intervals.

- Uniformitarianism
- Uniformitarianism is the methodological assumption that: (1) the same physical, chemical, biological, and (by extension) social processes observable today have operated in the past, implying that knowledge of current mechanisms licenses inferences about unobservable past states, as Lyell (1830) codified in Principles of Geology under the subtitle "An Attempt to Explain the Former Changes of the Earth's Surface, by Reference to Causes Now in Operation";

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. Neither this nor any other of the 2 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.
