Primes

• Lock-In
  • Each role is filled by a domain-specific thing (a developmental valley vs. an installed keyboard base), but the relations among the roles are identical, a transfer pattern Page (2006) treats as a defining feature of path-dependent and lock-in phenomena across social, biological, and technological domains.

    This sourceFormal treatment of path dependence and lock-in across social, biological, and technological substrates; argues that the same structural mechanisms produce the asymmetry regardless of domain, supporting the substrate-independence claim for the prime.

• Path Dependence
  • As Page (2006) formalizes, a system exhibits path dependence when the current feasible set of outcomes depends on which historical path the system has followed, even when the exogenous conditions are now identical.
