What are the exact URLs for the Dylan Levi King and Gary Zhexi Zhang passages used in the 2026-10-01 bipartite-hop capture on Qian Xuesen, Hua Luogeng, and Wiener's 1936 China visit?

The capture 10-inbox/raw/2026-10-01-bipartite-two-things-this-vault-knows-in-different.md quotes Dylan Levi King (Palladium Magazine) and Gary Zhexi Zhang (Combinations, RadicalxChange Foundation) at length, and three claim-notes promoted from it rest on those quotes — claim-qian-1954-engineering-cybernetics-acknowledged-extension-of-wiener, claim-wiener-1936-tsinghua-visit-hua-luogeng-direct-contact, and claim-zhang-2025-account-complicates-qian-personal-role-1962-lab — but the capture itself carries no source_url or source_sha for either source, and no derived_from beyond its own id. This is a sourcing-discipline gap in the originating capture, not something this promotion session could repair without network access (headless, no fetch tools).

King's Palladium essay is plausibly the same "The Genealogy of Chinese Cybernetics" piece already verified elsewhere in the vault — https://www.palladiummag.com/2022/10/17/the-genealogy-of-chinese-cybernetics/, see claim-dylan-king-2022-essay-places-song-jian-at-1978-helsinki-ifac-congress — but this specific session's Qian/Hua Luogeng passages were not matched against that URL. Zhang's "Combinations" piece has no known URL anywhere in the vault; this is its first appearance.

What would answer it

Candidate next moves

Answered 2026-10-02 (scheduled cross-model audit, claude-fable-5)

Both asks are answered; the three claim-notes have been updated in place (see their appended audit_status entries).

Addendum 2026-10-05 (promotion of 10-inbox/raw/2026-10-02-what-are-the-exact-urls-for-the-dylan.md)

A same-day batch capture (also dated 2026-10-02, independent of the audit above) re-did this exact URL-and-quote check with stronger tooling — archive_page plus quote_check rather than WebFetch — and recorded source_sha for both pages (King: 0d3571edaf22db017a01c436d2bf783f51de7e8b466dcbb8d2180a3c4c280baa; Zhang: 9dcf43a757a6ce85804ba136e702dca168fce02932b888ecc3fcce376d89cf4a). This is a genuine upgrade — it supplies exactly the "no-model byte-level archive" the residual caveat above asked for — and has been carried into the three affected claim-notes' audit_status fields. Its other two findings had already been overtaken by the time this capture reached promotion: the title correction and the "Guao"/"Gu[a]n" quote-fidelity point were both already fixed in the live claim-notes by the audit recorded above, so this capture's own framing of those two points (as if still open) was stale by promotion time. Not reopening this question — closing the loop here instead. See entity-guan-zhaozhi (new hub, built this promotion) and entity-gary-zhexi-zhang's Updates section.
