Primes

• Causal Layered Analysis (CLA)
  • The framework resists reductionism by insisting that any serious analysis must traverse all four layers to achieve adequate causal explanation, a methodological commitment Inayatullah (2002) develops in Questioning the Future.

    This sourceDevelops action-learning futures as a method that iteratively questions given futures to create alternative and preferred ones; supports the claim that serious causal analysis must traverse all four layers rather than stop at surface events.

• Future Wheel
  • The future wheel is a methodologically specific implementation of this principle, in the tradition Inayatullah (2002) describes in Questioning the Future — qualitative, structured, group-friendly, and appropriate for the early phase of consequence analysis where identification of what to consider is more valuable than precise quantification.

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.
