Primes¶
- Continuity vs. Rupture
- This separates continuity-vs-rupture from disputes about causation (what caused the change?), significance (did the change matter?), or facticity (did the change occur?) — a separation Kuhn (1962) made tractable by isolating paradigm-incommensurability from factual disagreement.
This sourceClassic study of the early-modern scientific revolution as a discontinuous cosmological rupture (closed Aristotelian cosmos to infinite Newtonian universe), often cited as evidence of an event-sized revolution that nonetheless masked deep continuities in mathematical reasoning.

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.
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.
