Primes¶
- Internalization
- Internalization is the structural pattern in which something that originated outside an agent or system — a norm, a cost, a function, a relationship — is taken inward and becomes part of the agent's own constitution, so that what was once enforced or mediated externally is now governed from within.
This sourceFoundational sociological account of internalization: norms and values of a social system are taken inward through socialization until they operate as the actor's own conscience and disposition, so that conformity becomes self-governed and persists without external surveillance — supports the prime's core definition, structural signature, the governing-locus distinction, and the self-sustaining-governance inference.

Parsons describes cultural norms and values taken in until they are part of the actor's personality, so conformity is motivated from within; costs, functions and relationships are not covered.
“but the culture patterns have come to be internalized; they constitute part of the structure of the personality system of the actor itself”

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? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 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.
