Primes

• Bottom-Up Perspectives
  • Listed in the references but not attached to a specific claim.

Mechanisms

• Swarm Rule
  • Weighted drives. Typically a vector sum of a few pulls (separation, alignment, cohesion, goal-gradient); their relative weights set the character of the emergent motion.

    This sourceModels aggregate flock motion by combining simple local steering behaviors expressed as acceleration requests.

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.

Was it audited? Yes. A second, independent pass read the citation against the article text and recorded a verdict.

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.
