C.21:12.1 - SoTA-Echoing

SoTA or practice anchor	Contribution used here	Non-overread
Open Science Collaboration (2015), Munafò et al. (2017), and current reproducibility and metascience practice	Reproducibility, claim resolution, support visibility, freshness, and population definition remain separate coordinates and bases.	A field-level rate does not certify one claim as true.
Fortunato et al. (2018) and Wu, Wang, and Evans (2019) disruption-index work	Disruption and consolidation are read through a declared corpus, method edition, and target band rather than a monotone novelty target.	Disruption is not quality, truth, safety, or usefulness by itself.
Standards lifecycle and ecosystem-adoption practice	Formal recognition and observed adoption are separate.	Official status, popularity, and convergence do not prove one another or SoTA.
Plural-tradition and relation-mapping practice	AlignmentDensity counts exact obtaining directed relations with visible loss.	A relation count is not universal language, consensus, or authority.
Diversity measurement practice	Entropy and concentration retain their separate constructions and directions.	Similar labels do not make their Scales interchangeable.
