Domain-specific

• Cyclomatic complexity
  • The entry records a descriptive analytical identity; practical use requires the governing domain's evidence, standards, and safety obligations.
• Design predicates
  • … predicate types and recognition rules, branch and loop conditions, per-predicate complexity values, combination rule, infeasible combinations, test-path bound and coverage evidence are explicit. to An applied instance preserves the invariant under changed notation, scale, dataset, jurisdiction, or implementation..

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? 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.
