Other places tied to Murray Gell-Mann in the record
In each of these, a source puts Murray Gell-Mann and the place in the same dated sentence without stating
that Murray Gell-Mann was there. They are kept apart from the timeline above for exactly that reason:
a mention is not a presence, and Quo Fuit does not quietly promote one into the other.

Collège de Francementioned“Gell-Mann was on sabbatical at the Collège de France for the academic year 1958–1959.”source: Wikipedia: Murray Gell-Mann

Santa Fe Institutementioned“In his 1994 popular book The Quark and the Jaguar: Adventures in the Simple and the Complex, Gell-Mann acknowledged financial support from Jeffrey Epstein, who contributed via the Santa Fe Institute.”source: Wikipedia: Murray Gell-Mann
Two people documented in the same place in the same year is a correlation, not a meeting.
Quo Fuit will never say they met without a source that says so.
How to read this page
Every line above is a dated fact taken from a source, with the sentence it came from and a link
back to it. Nothing is inferred, and a gap in the record is not evidence that someone was elsewhere.
A tag says how the fact is carried by its source: documented a structured,
explicitly dated record, attested a sentence that states the person was there,
mentioned a sentence that ties the person to the place without stating presence.
