Mechanisms¶
- Exhibit Design
- Its characteristic failure mode is museum fatigue: attention, legs, and interpretive appetite are finite, and an exhibit that stages too many equally-weighted objects over too long a path loses its audience well before the intended climax, so the last third is walked past unseen.

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. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Was it audited? Yes. A second, independent pass read the citation against the article text and recorded a verdict.
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.
