Primes¶
- Local Optimum
- In machine learning it is k-means halting at an initialisation-dependent local optimum and the standard escape family — random restarts, simulated annealing, momentum — built precisely to address it.
This sourceIntroduces k-means; the within-cluster sum-of-squares objective and its initialization-dependent local optima.

- Segmentation and Boundary Drawing
- Segmentation and boundary drawing encodes a signature pattern: continuous domain → threshold decisions → discrete partitions → encoded meaning, a structure that MacQueen (1967) operationalized in his foundational k-means treatment of partitioning N-dimensional populations into k discrete sets via threshold placement.
This sourceFoundational k-means treatment: partitions an N-dimensional continuous population into k discrete sets via threshold placement minimizing within-class variance.

Domain-specific¶
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 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.
