Quo Fuit places 5 dated presences for Richard Feynman across 5 places, from 1918 to 1949.
Each one keeps the sentence it was taken from and a link to its source.

Other places tied to Richard Feynman in the record
In each of these, a source puts Richard Feynman and the place in the same dated sentence without stating
that Richard Feynman 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.

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.
