      SupportedVerified against the work's full text

      Smuts writes that holism "is the term here coined for this fundamental factor" operative towards the creation of wholes in the universe. The work therefore declares the coinage in its own pages, which is what the sentence attributes to it, and the registry places that work as Holism and Evolution, Macmillan, 1926. The quoted page does not print the author's full given names; Jan Christiaan comes from the citation rather than from the text.

      “Holism is the term here coined (from 6\os = whole) to designate this fundamental factor operative towards the making or creation of wholes in the universe.”

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? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported. 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.
