Primes¶
- Scaling and Scale Dependence
- It compresses diverse phenomena—communication bottlenecks, coordination failures, changed physical constraints, resource depletion—into a single diagnostic: a mechanism appropriate for scale A becomes a bottleneck at scale B, a unifying diagnosis Schneider (2001) traced through the rise of "scale" as an organizing concept across ecology and adjacent sciences.
This sourceHistorical and conceptual review showing how "scale" became an organizing diagnostic across ecology, formalizing the diagnosis that small-scale measurements cannot be linearly extrapolated to larger scales because dominant processes and constraints change.

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.
