How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T10147698 — 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.
Newtonian gravitational cosmology
Newtonian gravitational cosmology is a classical framework that applies Newton’s law of universal gravitation to model the large-scale structure, dynamics, and evolution of the universe before the advent of general relativity.
-
B.
FLRW cosmological models
FLRW cosmological models are a family of solutions to Einstein’s field equations that describe a homogeneous and isotropic expanding or contracting universe, forming the standard framework for modern cosmology.

D.
Zeldovich approximation in large-scale structure formation
The Zeldovich approximation in large-scale structure formation is a seminal analytical model in cosmology that predicts how small initial density perturbations in the early universe evolve into the cosmic web of sheets, filaments, and clusters of galaxies.

E.
Bianchi type cosmologies
Bianchi type cosmologies are a class of spatially homogeneous but generally anisotropic cosmological models that classify possible three-dimensional Lie group symmetries of spacetime in general relativity.
- F. None of above. chosen

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.
