Primes¶
- Basis
- Linguistics — phonemes as the minimal contrastive units from which larger forms are built, and semantic-primitive theories proposing a small set of universal concepts as a definitional basis.
This sourceProposes a small set of universal semantic primitives as a definitional basis from which complex meanings are built.

Domain-specific¶
- Circular Reasoning
- . Theological apologetics — the inerrancy syllogism ("Scripture is true because Scripture says so"), the standing challenge to scriptural-authority arguments. Lexicography and conceptual analysis — the definitional pair (anxiety / anxious) as a two-node cycle, the problem the discipline of conceptual primitives exists to avoid
This sourceDefinitional circularity in dictionaries as the motivation for a vocabulary of indefinable semantic primes.

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. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a 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.
