No passage demonstrates that chance alone suffices without additional principles of generalization. The claims rest on textual attribution and philosophical coherence rather than replicated data.","status":"active","vx_hash":"3cc8629c098da12251f524141d7822d9e68e205ad4ee35daa1ee12d8361e3f6a","semantic_hash":null,"version_hash":null,"version":1,"sources":[],"falsifiers":[],"tier":null,"backed":null,"transcludes":null,"chain_head":"3d2608cb79460193f0584a7f9cc272a7b3157642aee403e6a3e86d3ade2dec18","chain_length":1,"chain":[{"n":1,"op":"genesis","ts":"2026-07-17T02:37:28.588Z","actor":"owner","text_sha":"a59c17e3b70742485c117aea314183fe8f1bb839389197ee842b5ab5b78795c5","detail":{"divided_from":"body","block":19,"kind":"p"},"prev":"genesis","hash":"3d2608cb79460193f0584a7f9cc272a7b3157642aee403e6a3e86d3ade2dec18"}],"claim_ids":[],"last_op":{"op":"genesis","actor":"owner","ts":"2026-07-17T02:37:28.588Z"},"consolidated_into":null,"stable_url":"https://miscsubjects.com/i/div/paper-peirce-c-s-1892-the-doctrine-of-necessity-examined/d19"},{"id":"d20","kind":"h","type":null,"order":20,"text":"## Primary Work and Historical Context","status":"active","vx_hash":"7acf32df8ff87fa3c3c50df86766cede9d2282ff211f00468edc85c56ae54bbd","semantic_hash":null,"version_hash":null,"version":1,"sources":[],"falsifiers":[],"tier":null,"backed":null,"transcludes":null,"chain_head":"98fe3d3b7f86801ba4e4278601c8c64103d4d18d61f534406cb068166ad3d37c","chain_length":1,"chain":[{"n":1,"op":"genesis","ts":"2026-07-17T02:37:28.588Z","actor":"owner","text_sha":"d3d4581dff79e269f7ed0353739412af3a919463d548227ecbfb76c3d8da40bd","detail":{"divided_from":"body","block":20,"kind":"h"},"prev":"genesis","hash":"98fe3d3b7f86801ba4e4278601c8c64103d4d18d61f534406cb068166ad3d37c"}],"claim_ids":[],"last_op":{"op":"genesis","actor":"owner","ts":"2026-07-17T02:37:28.588Z"},"consolidated_into":null,"stable_url":"https://miscsubjects.com/i/div/paper-peirce-c-s-1892-the-doctrine-of-necessity-examined/d20"},{"id":"d21","kind":"p","type":null,"order":21,"text":"The sole primary source is the 1892 Monist article.

article has a human side (/a/paper-peirce-c-s-1892-the-doctrine-of-necessity-examined) and a machine side (this endpoint). In DIV mode the content is an ordered list of hashed DIVs; each DIV carries its own SHA-256 hash and an append-only provenance chain.

Every successful write returns a clickable human permalink.","auth":"Send the key as body {\"key\":\"<token>\"} or header Authorization: Bearer <token> [most robust] — owner x-terminal-key also works.
