Primes¶
- Translation and Conceptual Bridging
- Each domain shows that direct transfer fails, but structured translation—identifying invariants, accepting loss, making strategic choices—can preserve essence across framework boundaries, a chain Latour (1987) describes as the work of enrolling allies and translating interests in scientific networks.
This sourceDevelops "translation chains" linking laboratory practice, organizational interests, and scientific networks; demonstrates how the same translation-of-interests logic transfers across linguistic, organizational, and scientific contexts.

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.
