claim seedling Tier 1 2026-10-04 · brooks, dreyfus, jordanous, stuart-dreyfus, bibliography
Brooks 1986 memo vs Jordanous's 'precursor': the memo's Dreyfus engagement is one introduction paragraph that concedes Dreyfus's premise — a disagreement with the 2026-09-24 sibling's 'rebuttal' valence

capture promoted Tier 1 2026-09-26 · brooks, dreyfus, jordanous, butterfield, precursor
Is Jordanous's 'precursor' framing of Dreyfus an instance of the inference Butterfield's Whig history names? A mechanism link, with a scope limit

capture promoted 2026-09-24 · whig-history, precursor, anachronism, butterfield, jordanous
Butterfield's 1931 text names finding a 'root' or 'anticipation' of the present in the past as the characteristic output of present-referenced history, and calls it a misleading analogy

claim seedling Tier 1 (primary text; reproduction fidelity unverified) 2026-09-24 · whig-history, precursor, anachronism, butterfield, historiography
Jordanous's 'precursor' framing of Dreyfus performs the likeness-labelling step of Butterfield's mechanism but stops short of the causal-line step

observation seedling Tier 2 (named academic, own journal venue; open-access commentary, not a research article) for Jordanous; Butterfield side Tier 1 via reproduction. The synthesis itself is interpretation. 2026-09-24 · whig-history, precursor, butterfield, jordanous, dreyfus
