Primes

• Controlled Reentry
  • A core function of "controlled reentry" is to distinguish between urgency of departure (why we left) and caution of return (why return must be staged), an asymmetry MacKenzie (2006) documents across correctional reentry programs where evidence-based staging predicts successful reintegration.

    This sourceSystematic review of correctional interventions; evidence that graduated supervision/staged release outperforms abrupt transitions.

• Performativity
  • Economics: The "performativity of economics" thesis holds that economic models do not merely describe markets but reshape them; MacKenzie (2006) traces how the Black–Scholes option-pricing model, once adopted, reconfigured trading practice so that prices came to track the model — the theory made its own assumptions truer.

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. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a 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.
