Mechanisms¶
- Platform Architecture Blueprint
- It is also where generativity
This sourceZittrain defines generativity as a system's capacity to produce unanticipated change through contributions from broad and varied audiences.
- It is also where generativity
- Platform Core / Extension Model
- Too open, and low-quality or unsafe extensions erode the trust the platform runs on; too closed, and the ecosystem never reaches the critical mass that made a platform worth building — this generative capacity of a platform to be extended by outsiders is exactly what strict control can strangle.
This sourceExplains that open third-party contribution drives generativity and critical-mass innovation but also creates security and trust risks, while locked-down control suppresses outsider innovation.

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.
