Primes¶
- Rock Cycle
- Career and organizational dynamics. Individual contributor to manager to IC again to executive; institutional renewal in long-lived organizations (startup, growth, maturity, reinvention, growth again) — the same identity carried through qualitatively different role-states. Software and infrastructure lifecycle. Greenfield to production to legacy to refactor to greenfield again; a codebase rewritten several times is in some sense the same product carried through phase change. Materials processing and recycling. Aluminum can to smelt to ingot to sheet to can again — the substance persists, the form cycles; circular-economy design is the rock-cycle pattern applied to industrial materials.
This sourceDocuments the material-stock cycling of metals (incl. aluminum) through production, use, scrap, and reclamation in a circular-economy framing.
Supported in partVerified against the work's full text
Graedel et al. back the metal-recycling idea (metals persist and recirculate through use and recycling) but say nothing on the career or software parts, or aluminum cans and circular-economy design specifically.
“metals are different from other materials in that they are inherently recyclable. This means that, in theory, they can be used over and over again”

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 1 citation: 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.
