Not reached. Skimmed on 2026-10-22 (NOTE-1077) through Abbott’s French precursor (2003) and the Bourdieu section cut from this article, both posted by him. The summary now follows the article’s abstract; what the precursor shows is in the NOTE.
Why this is here
A30 named linked ecologies as “even closer to the expanded domain” than its own “regime ecology”. Bears on CLAIM-423 and CLAIM-417.
From the precursor, 2026-10-22. It bears on CLAIM-423 more than the exchange said. Its New York case already treats differences of tempo between linked ecologies as explanatory: politics worked by urgency, medicine sought a settlement once, and this “différence de rythme” changed the doctors’ allies across the decades; they won only by joining durable causes such as public health. The claim’s defeater names Pierson and Putnam as accounts that may already state it; Abbott belongs on that list, though he gives tempo as a variable, not an account of which component gains authority. On CLAIM-417 the precursor has little: it is about jurisdictions and alliances, not perspectives.
