Primes

• Formal vs. Informal Structures
  • Dual-structure reasoning proceeds by asking

    This sourceLays out an analytic framework for relating formal structure to the informal patterns (cliques, friendship ties, power groupings, cooptation) that arise within and react back upon it; supports treating dual-structure analysis as a structured diagnostic of formal/informal interaction (re-sourced; replaces Weick 1995).

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? 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.
