- The pattern is universal: a hiring decision, a software architecture, a market exit, a marriage, an ecosystem service, and a scientific finding all exhibit the same structure of choice, cost, and time-dependency, a generalization Bezos (1997) crystallized in distinguishing Type 1 (one-way door) from Type 2 (two-way door) decisions.

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.
