| Copy | Established by an earlier search and recorded in a note on this record, but never written into the field, so the queue went on offering a fetch. The note says: "No copy held: the DOI is behind IEEE, and the green location every catalogue offers, hdl.handle.net/1721.1/11173, is not this article — it is Shannon's MIT master's thesis, which the corpus now holds separately as `shannon1940symbolic`. Anyone fetching from th..." Settled on that finding. Note the distinction this corpus keeps: this is a work with no open copy anywhere, not merely one this account is refused -- records of the latter kind, such as fischer1983impossibility and boer2025footprint, are deliberately left unsettled with a click-through URL instead. |
