Question investigated
Do the citation networks of partial precedents contain a paper that combines the full proposal?
Test conditions
Start from partial precedents and examine their references and subsequent citations across at least three independent bibliographic networks. Assess at least 20 papers against the same three physical conditions, without requiring matching terminology.
Result
None of the 20 papers examined across three citation networks met all three required conditions simultaneously. Partial precedents were identified; the search does not exclude a complete precedent outside this sample.

Specific limitations
- The search assesses the originality of the combination within the literature examined. The absence of a precedent in this sample does not establish absolute novelty.
- Count limited to 20 papers examined in three citation networks. Zero in this sample does not establish global absence or priority.
