Primes¶
- Validity-ending Event
- The propagation channel is the citation-and-indexing ecosystem, and the separation invariant exposes the field's characteristic failure: the gap between the retraction's effective date and the moment downstream consumers learn of it is large and poorly instrumented, so citations to the retracted work continue to accumulate for years — the stale-evidence pathology operating at the scale of a literature, where authors cite an invalidated result because the invalidation never propagated to them.
