Primes¶
- Risk Migration
- The reasoning is genuinely substrate-neutral because the conservation-of-generative-pressure mechanic applies to demand, energy, motivation, and throughput alike, and the prime includes clean biological and ecological instances (mesopredator release, resistance emergence) alongside the human ones.
This sourceDocuments mesopredator release as a clean non-human instance of hazard relocation following top-predator loss.

Ritchie and Johnson review mesopredator release in terrestrial and marine vertebrates, which backs the ecological instance but not the wider substrate-neutral mechanism.
“Removal of apex predators can result in changes to intraguild interactions and outbreaks of mesopredators (‘mesopredator release’), leading in turn to increased predation on smaller prey.”
- The reasoning is genuinely substrate-neutral because the conservation-of-generative-pressure mechanic applies to demand, energy, motivation, and throughput alike, and the prime includes clean biological and ecological instances (mesopredator release, resistance emergence) alongside the human ones.
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? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
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.
