Primes¶
- Indexicality
- Operators who treat the reading as referring without checking the link are treating a broken index as if it were sound, which is the structural mistake forensic chain-of-custody is also designed to prevent, a pattern Hacking (1983) traces through scientific instrumentation as intervention-grounded representation.
This sourceArgues that scientific instrumentation grounds representation through intervention: instruments work as indices of what they measure because they are causally coupled to it, and calibration is the practice of certifying that the existential link is intact.

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.
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.
