Primes

• Teleology
  • The explanation is grounded either in history (etiological: what the trait was selected for or designed for) or in present role (systemic: what the trait currently does within a larger system) — the latter is Cummins's (1975) functional-analysis alternative to selected-effects accounts.

    This sourceCummins systemic functional analysis alternative to selected-effects.

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.
