Primes¶
- Coupling
- The coupling operates on a characteristic timescale — instantaneous, lagged, delayed — relative to internal dynamics; slow coupling permits quasi-decoupled analysis, fast coupling demands unified treatment. The slack-buffer-and-substitution availability
This sourceArgues loose coupling among subsystems confers stability/persistence by buffering against perturbation; directly supports the slack-buffer-and-substitution claim.

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.
