Primes¶
- Interpretation
- … a clinician reading a chest CT, a judge construing a statute, an ML classifier mapping a vector to a class label, and an immune system distinguishing self from non-self all instantiate it, exemplifying the kind of meaning-construction Bruner (1986) treats as a general human and computational activity.
This sourceArgues for two complementary modes of meaning-construction (paradigmatic and narrative) and treats interpretation as a general cognitive activity that constructs worlds from texts, signs, and actions under cultural and conventional constraint.

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.
