Status and meaning

Editorial status. Not reviewed by an editor. An exploratory record that no editor has accepted. This status does not say whether a person has read any linked passage. Each evidence record above shows how it was checked.

Relation. A passage of the document uses a name for a family of methods or a term, in the sense the concept’s naming criterion describes or, where labelled, in another sense. The record documents the use; it is not evidence that the name began there, and it implies no influence on or from another text.

Date. Dateline on the cover of report CSD-850017 (April 1985); the title page of report CSD-850021, R-43, is dated June 1985. These are the reports’ datelines; no release or publication of either report on those dates was verified.
