Capture: Dedupe-check on '[ANSWERED 2026-07-07, cycle 17] Griewank-2014 Table 5' topic — confirms fold-in is real, no new research performed

Capture: Speelpenning's 1980 thesis bibliography (leaf 74) does not cite Linnainmaa — full-text PDF retrieved from OSTI.gov

The reverse-mode "cheap gradient" bound has two figures — "one to four times" (the book's prose) and "5×" (the Baur-Strassen formalization) — and they don't contradict

Forward- and reverse-mode AD apply the same Jacobian in dual directions — the VJP's linear part is the transpose of the JVP's (pushforward vs pullback)

Speelpenning's 1980 thesis — the canonical early reverse-mode implementation — does not cite Linnainmaa; its lineage is the U.S. compiler line, not the Finnish numerical-analysis line

The "Wengert list" tape is named for the inventor of the other mode — Wengert 1964 published forward accumulation; automatic reverse mode arrived with Speelpenning 1980
