| Prerequisite | Type | Confidence | Evidence level | Note | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Discovery of the Electron (electron_discovery) | enabling | 68% | expert_inference | Discovery of the Electron provides a capability that enables this technology without being the only possible path. |
|
| Vacuum Tubes (Electron Control) (vacuum_tubes_electron_control) | enabling | 68% | expert_inference | Vacuum Tubes (Electron Control) provides a capability that enables this technology without being the only possible path. |
|
| Early Optics (early_optics) | historical_predecessor | 75% | expert_inference | Early Optics is an earlier historical predecessor or foundation, not a one-to-one engineering dependency. |
