Primes¶
- Inquiry-Change Learning Loop
- Carry across the requirement for a committed prior model, the discipline of naming a disconfirming observation before acting, the coupling of practical and epistemic carry-forward, and the three-way partition of discrepancy; someone who has run improvement cycles on a ward holds genuinely transferable equipment for tuning a control system, and the transfer runs just as well in the other direction — though it has to be made deliberately, since a structure shared under dissimilar surfaces is rarely noticed unprompted.
This sourceShows that a structurally analogous source is rarely applied to a surface-dissimilar target without an explicit hint, so transfer of a shared role structure is a deliberate act rather than an automatic one.

Backs the 'made deliberately' half: surface-dissimilar analogy transfer needs an explicit hint. It does not speak to symmetric transfer or the other carried-across items.
“In all experiments subjects who first read a story about a military problem and its solution tended to generate analogous solutions to a medical problem (Duncker's "radiation problem"), provided they were given a hint to use the story to help solve the problem. Transfer frequency was reduced when the problem presented in the military story was substantially disanalogous to the radiation problem, even though the …”

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 2 citations: 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.
