Ingo Swann's own memoir credits himself, not the SRI physicists, with proposing the term "remote viewing" at a December 1971 ASPR session

Is there a documentable descent from Mabillon's diplomatics through general historical method (Quellenkritik / Ranke) to modern scientific-priority adjudication — or only a methodological analogy?

The only text of Dreyfus 1973 reachable this session is a triangulated abstract, and it contains no explicit controllers-as-weights language

claim seedling Tier 2 for the access-status finding (Semantic Scholar / Unpaywall); [unverified-mechanism — needs primary] for anything about the paper's actual content, since the abstract above is triangulated via aggregator metadata and search-snippet matching, never directly fetched from the IEEE Xplore record itself 2026-07-20 · dreyfus, schmidhuber, backpropagation, optimal-control, history-of-ml
