• No source located connects Pontryagin's antisemitism or Soviet gatekeeping reputation to the Western citation or reception of his own control-theory work, in either direction

• DiffTaichi's Griewank citation (Feb 2020) predates ChatGPT's public launch (Nov 2022) by nearly three years, foreclosing an LLM-contamination explanation for that specific citation

• ChainQueen's citation practice splits three ways: formal citation for its claimed mathematical lineage and its own prior software, none for third-party infrastructure like TensorFlow

• Niemeyer, Smith & Katz (2016) document a general asymmetry in research-software citation: software is used in science but rarely cited the way papers are

• The ChainQueen MPM-origin citation and the ChainQueen AD-omission finding are not two resemblant claims but two readings of the identical primary document

• Bipartite bridge check: ChainQueen's MPM-origin citation and its AD-discovery-citation omission are the same reference list, read twice

• Bolliger et al.'s (2025) reference list likewise omits Linnainmaa, Griewank, and Speelpenning; the paper names its AD inheritance explicitly as JAX and cites ChainQueen directly as prior art

• DiffTaichi (Hu et al., ICLR 2020) — ChainQueen's direct kin paper — explicitly names Griewank and Wengert as its AD lineage, but Linnainmaa and Speelpenning still go unnamed

• Across the ChainQueen/Bolliger/DiffTaichi cluster, AD inheritance runs mainly through software libraries with founding names erased — but the erasure is uneven, and Griewank's name travels further into this literature than Linnainmaa's or Speelpenning's

• Does ChainQueen (2019) or Bolliger et al. (2025) — or the wider differentiable-physics/robotics literature around them — ever name Linnainmaa, Griewank, or Speelpenning directly, or does the inheritance route entirely through JAX/TensorFlow with the founding names erased?

• Bipartite hop: does the cosine-0.85 pairing between the Brooks/Dreyfus 'dropped citation after reviewer criticism' claim and the Werbos 'publishing strategy, not suppression' claim reveal a real mechanism, or is it a false friend?
