Jordanous's citation for the Dreyfus-precursor-to-Brooks claim and the vault's own Tier-1 primary for Dreyfus's connectionism-vindication claim are the same 1988 Daedalus essay, three printed pages apart

Jordanous's reference [10] — her sole textual basis for calling Dreyfus a "precursor" to Brooks (claim-jordanous-2020-frames-dreyfus-precursor-by-comparison) — and the vault's pre-existing Tier-1 primary for "Dreyfus's connectionism was vindicated, not refuted" (claim-dreyfus-1988-connectionism-was-vindicated-not-target) are bibliographically the same document: Hubert and Stuart Dreyfus's "Making a Mind Versus Modeling the Brain: Artificial Intelligence Back at a Branchpoint" (Daedalus 117(1), Winter 1988, pp. 15–43). Jordanous reaches it through a 1990 reprint in Margaret Boden's anthology The Philosophy of Artificial Intelligence; the vault's existing claim-notes reach it through the 1988 original.

The two load-bearing sentences sit three printed pages apart in the original. Jordanous's quoted sentence — "The physical symbol system approach seems to be failing because it is simply false to assume that there must be a theory of every domain" — falls on p. 37. The vault's existing vindication sentence — on Rosenblatt's intuition being vindicated and his program "never really... refuted" — falls on p. 34, three pages earlier, in the same continuous argument about the physical-symbol-system program's failure.

This also resolves a source-side oddity the vault had flagged but not explained: Jordanous's reference list dates the essay's first publication to "Artificial Intelligence 117 No. 1, 1988," a volume/year pairing the journal Artificial Intelligence never had. "Artificial Intelligence" was the title of Daedalus 117(1)'s themed issue, not a separate journal — the garble is Jordanous's own reprint citation misreading the Boden anthology's handling of that theme title, not evidence of a different source document.
