How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T3201177 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

-
A.
Condon–Shortley phase
The Condon–Shortley phase is a sign convention introduced in quantum mechanics to standardize the definition of spherical harmonics and angular momentum coupling coefficients.
-
B.
The Method
The Method is a Russian psychological crime drama series featuring Svetlana Khodchenkova in a prominent role.
-
C.
The Formula
The Formula is a 1980 crime thriller film starring George C. Scott and Marlon Brando that centers on a conspiracy involving a secret synthetic fuel formula.
-
D.
Feautrier method
The Feautrier method is a numerical technique used in radiative transfer to stably and accurately solve second-order differential equations for the radiation field in stellar atmospheres and similar media.
-
E.
Euler’s formula for complex exponentials
Euler’s formula for complex exponentials is the fundamental identity \(e^{i\theta} = \cos\theta + i\sin\theta\), which links complex exponentials with trigonometric functions and underpins much of complex analysis and engineering mathematics.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.

How these facts were elicited
The pipeline generated the facts above by prompting gpt-5.1 with this entity's name + description and the instruction below.
Instruction
You are a knowledge base construction expert. Given a subject entity and a description of it, return factual statements that you know for the subject as a JSON list of dictionaries(triples), where keys must be "subject", "predicate" and "object". The number of facts may be very high, between 25 to 50 or more, for very popular subjects. For less popular subjects, the number of facts can be very low, like 5 or 10. # Requirements - If you don't know the subject at all, return an empty list. - If the subject is not a named entity, return an empty list. - Include at least one triple where predicate is "instanceOf". - Do not get too wordy. - Separate several objects into multiple triples with one object.
Input
Subject: Derivation by Phase Description of subject: Derivation by Phase is a key theoretical work in generative syntax that develops the phase-based approach to sentence structure within Chomsky’s Minimalist Program.
