• Allzén's 2026 dark-matter-discovery preprint had drawn zero independent citations eight days after posting, consistent with this subfield's slow baseline citation uptake

• The dark-matter-discovery-framework branch now rests three claim-notes on a single unrefereed preprint (arXiv:2610.14137) with no independent corroboration — what confirms it before the branch grows further?

• The term 'background-independence' originated in 1980s string theory and was popularized in the 1990s Witten–Rovelli/Smolin dispute

• The WIMP became dark matter's 'evidential keystone' in the mid-1980s because convergent, independently warranted results made particle identification and cosmic attribution jointly attainable

• Renaissance-era general relativity textbooks are a distinctive form of historical testimony, richer than research papers, because each narrates its author's own "story" of the field

• The "Renaissance of General Relativity" is dated from the 1955 Bern conference to the early 1970s, when the field entered the physics mainstream
