• Did Stuart Dreyfus's RAND employment begin early enough to overlap Rufus Isaacs's 1948–1954 RAND tenure, narrowing the 'non-contemporaneous' verdict on the Isaacs/Dreyfus RAND bridge?

• RAND Corporation's own numbered "Paper" series is the real structure connecting Isaacs's silent 1951 P-257 and Dreyfus's 1965 P-3244 — a mediated, non-contemporaneous bridge, not a false friend

• RAND Corporation's own 'Paper' series is the real institutional bridge between Brooks's 1986 Dreyfus-citing memo and Isaacs's silent 1951 P-257 — mediated through Stuart Dreyfus's RAND employment, not a direct or contemporaneous link

• Isaacs's own 1965 preface reframes his publication gap as circumstance, not suppression — the same move the vault already has on record for Werbos, and vault_bridge confirms the two notes are an unlinked bridge pair

• Isaacs's 1965 book preface names colleagues by name and frames his RAND-to-book publication gap as an employment interruption, not suppression

• Isaacs's 1951 P-257 derives optimal paths as characteristics of a first-order PDE for the game's value, half the characteristic equations coming from differentiating that PDE
