Primes¶
- Correspondence Principle
- The working correspondence principle is thus better understood as a Norm for post-Copernican physics than as a universal feature of theory change, and it applies most cleanly when the older theory's predictions are numerically accurate within their tested domain.
This sourceTreats the reduction of thermodynamics to statistical mechanics and the limits of inter-theoretic reduction; broadly supports the 'limits of correspondence' theme of T4 but does NOT itself discuss the caloric/phlogiston/epicycle examples or the Kuhn/Feyerabend 'theory abandonment' argument the marker attributes to it.

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.
