Primes

• Analogy
  • Policy analysis, history, and comparative social science use analogies between historical and current situations to project outcomes and risks, with varying degrees of rigor.

    This sourceDevelops a theory of comparison-as-analogical-mapping in which the operation is run by jointly satisfying structural, semantic, and pragmatic constraints; supplies a formal model of the five-role machinery (comparands, alignment-rule, output relation) the prime names.

• Comparison
  • The cognitive-science treatment by Holyoak and Thagard (1989) characterizes this as a constraint-satisfaction process running over structural, semantic, and pragmatic constraints — a formal model of the role-slots the operation requires.

    This sourceTheory of analogical mapping driven by interacting structural, semantic, and pragmatic constraints (the ACME model) — supplies a formal model of the role-slots (comparands, alignment rule, output relation) the prime names; supports the constraint-satisfaction characterization.

    Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract

    The abstract states a theory of analogical mapping over interacting structural, semantic and pragmatic constraints, implemented as constraint satisfaction in ACME, but is silent on the operation's role-slots.

    “A theory of analogical mapping between source and target analogs based upon interacting structural, semantic, and pragmatic constraints is proposed here.”

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? Read against the text for 1 of 2 citations: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

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.
