Gerald M. Edelman

Named on the documents as	Gerald Edelman, Gerald M. Edelman, Prof Gerald M Edelman, Gerry Edelman, Jerry Edelman, Dr. Edelman, Dr Edelman and, in one mailbox, Edelman Dr. Gerald. The documents reached by his full name and the documents reached by his nickname are two disjoint sets. There is not one document in common1
Money, and what it was for	1 February 2003. A filed Form 990-PF of THE C.O.U.Q. FOUNDATION, INC. records, on the schedule of contributions paid for the year ending 28 February 2003, the line 2/1/03 Neurosciences Research Foundation, Inc. 250,000. It is the largest single grant that foundation reported paying in that entire fiscal year. The payee is the research foundation of the institute he founded and directed. It is not a payment to him, and this page does not write it as one. His name is not on the sheet, and no search on his name reaches it2
The one document in this record he wrote	13 February 2013. A reply from Gerald M. Edelman, subject RE: Jeffrey Epstein, opening Dear Lesley, then Let him try, then Regards, and GME3
The approach that came from his side	11 October 2010. His Executive Assistant at The Neurosciences Institute to Epstein’s assistant, subject Dr. Edelman: Dr. Edelman would like to contact Jeffrey Epstein. Could you please tell us the best way to get in touch with him? Nine days later the dinner happened45
He telephoned the office himself	16 June 2010. Epstein’s assistant to Epstein, subject Dr. Edelman: Dr. Edelman called to give me his new cell number and to send you his regards. I have udatcd his cell in the computer and on your scientist list. Read the last five words6
His institute solicited Epstein on his account	22 October 2009. The Vice President for Institute Relations to Epstein’s assistant, asking how to reach Epstein to ask his advice and participation in a project I am working on for Dr. Edelman7
What was done with his words, seven years on	15 October 2010. A correspondent asks Epstein’s permission to publish testimonial quotations which repeats your name over and over, which is what drives things to the top of the search list, and prints a sample. His magazine quotation is in it, with its first two words replaced by Epstein’s full name89
Four courier consignments	1999, 2001, 2002 and 2002. Four FedEx shipments on Epstein’s account, consigned to DR GERALD EDELMAN, JERRY EDELMAN and GERALD M EDELMAN, two of them to his foundation at the institute. The sender lines are Epstein’s company, Zorro Ranch, NYSG LLC and G MAXWELL10
His approval as a gate	20 April 2010. A conference organiser hunting a brain-and-music speaker asks Epstein for one WHO ALSO EDELMAN WILL APPROVE OF AS WELL...?11
What the record does not contain	Any document in which he asks for money, acknowledges money, or mentions the grant; any statement of purpose for the grant on the return that records it; any second payment to his institution from any Epstein entity in this release; any account of what was in the four envelopes; any statement by him about Epstein other than the one magazine quotation; and any document written by him other than the reply of 13 February 201312
Covered elsewhere on this wiki	Murray Gell-Mann · Lisa Randall · Ben Goertzel · Steve Bannon · Barbro Ehnbom · Mark Tramo · Al Seckel · Lesley Groff · C.O.U.Q. Foundation

Gerald Maurice Edelman (1929 to 2014) was an immunologist and neuroscientist, joint winner of the 1972 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for work on the chemical structure of antibodies, the author of the theory of neuronal group selection he called Neural Darwinism, and the founder and director of The Neurosciences Institute in La Jolla, California. He stands in this release in the position this wiki looks for and rarely finds: not only as a name on somebody else’s list, but as a party who acts. His own Executive Assistant asks Epstein’s office for a way to reach him. Epstein’s assistant records that he telephoned her unprompted and left a number. An officer of his institute solicits Epstein’s advice and participation for Dr. Edelman. His office reports that he has rearranged two evenings so that he can see Epstein. He replies in writing, over his own initials. And money moves: a quarter of a million dollars to the research foundation of his institute, recorded on a filed information return. Two of those acts, the telephone call and the rearranged evenings, reach this page as reports written by Epstein’s assistant rather than as documents he wrote, and they are marked as reports where they appear below.

The money is the thing this page is most careful about. The payee on that line is the Neurosciences Research Foundation, Inc. It is not a payment to him, and nothing on this page says it is. What the return establishes is that a private foundation controlled by Jeffrey Epstein recorded a payment of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars to the research foundation of the institute Gerald Edelman founded and led, on 1 February 2003, and stated no purpose for it. His name is not printed anywhere in the 177 sheets of that filing package. The route to this document runs through the institution, never through the man, and that is why no earlier pass on this page found it.

This page does not inflate its subject. He is one of roughly a dozen eminent scientists in this correspondence, and much of what carries his name is other people’s lists. What distinguishes his file is narrow and it is real: the grant, the reply he signed, and the fact that on at least four separate occasions the first move came from his side of the relationship.

Several sheets named below also carry material about private third parties. Nothing of that kind is reproduced, described, counted or located here. Each footnote states positively what was taken from its sheet. Private third parties stand on a number of these sheets. Every one of them is described here by role only and none is named. Three documents that carry his name, or a form of it, are excluded from this page altogether, because they are filings and depositions in survivors’ proceedings and because what they contain about him is either a denial or a refusal given identically to ten other names; they are treated where they belong, at Ben Goertzel and Steve Bannon.¹³

The name is the first finding

An earlier screen on this subject searched "gerald edelman" and returned 91 documents. That is not his footprint. It is one spelling of it.

Measured for this page, over every sheet in the release that carries the surname as a token, whitespace-normalised, case-insensitive, and with hyphenated line breaks repaired:

form of the name	documents
full-name forms (gerald edelman, gerald m. edelman, gerald m edelman, prof gerald m edelman)	103
diminutive forms (gerry edelman, jerry edelman, and the damaged gcrry edelman)	58
dr. edelman and dr edelman	35
the inverted mailbox form edelman dr. gerald	6
damaged forms (edeiman, edelaman) confirmed to be him	3
union of every form, after removing four documents confirmed to name a different bearer	188
of those, reached only through a Dr. Edelman form and therefore probable, not certain	24
documents beyond the 91 that earlier screen reached	97
documents reachable only through a diminutive	58
documents carrying the bare surname, of which the great majority are other people and one furnishings brand	493

The overlap between the 103 full-name documents and the 58 diminutive documents is zero. Not small: zero. A reader searching this release for Gerald Edelman will not find the dinner of 20 October 2010, the call list of July 2011, the reports of his death, or the courier consignment of August 2001, because every one of those sheets calls him Jerry or Gerry.

Which of these figures are counted and which are judged. The 103, 58, 35, 6, 3, 188, 97 and 493 are counted. Which of the 35 Dr. Edelman documents are his is a judgement: 11 of them also carry a forename on the same sheet, and the remaining 24 are held here as probable and are not leaned on for any finding on this page. No finding on this page rests on a bare surname. The one place a bare surname is quoted, it is quoted as a bare surname and flagged.¹⁴

Two earlier passes on this page put different totals on this subject, 191 and 183. Neither reproduces here, and this page publishes its own decomposition rather than either figure. Thirteen invented control forms, each a one-character or two-character corruption of a form that returned a non-zero count in the same pass, all returned zero.¹

1999 to 2002: four envelopes

The earliest dated contact in this file is not correspondence. It is freight. Four FedEx consignments on Epstein’s account, identified by four distinct tracking numbers, are addressed to him. Copies are grouped; the unit here is the shipment, not the sheet.

delivered	tracking	sender side	consignee
JuI31. 1999 1034	806208096317	J EPSTEIN 8 CO INC	DR GERALD EDELMAN

Oct 29, 2002 10:43	837169384201	G MAXWELL over JEFFREY E EPSTEIN	DR GERALD EDELMAN, NEUROSCIENCE RESEARCH FOUNDATI

Three of these four were settled at the image at 400 dpi. The 1999 row is a released-text reading of a sheet that was not opened, printed above exactly as the released text returns it, damage and all, and no character in it is mended. The August 2001 shipment was Dropped off: Aug 16, 2001, Payor: Shipper, a FedEx Pak weighing 2.0 lbs, 0.9 kgs, signed for by L.MURPHY. The January 2002 and October 2002 shipments were FedEx Envelope, 1.0 lbs, 0.5 kgs. All four print Reference: NO REFERENCE INFORMATION, the 1999 one in the released text only. What was inside is not on any of these sheets.¹⁰

Two of the consignee lines name his foundation, the two do not spell it alike, and both are cut off at the width of the field. The January 2002 sheet prints NEUROSCIENCES RESEARCH FOUNDAT and the October 2002 sheet prints NEUROSCIENCE RESEARCH FOUNDATI, with no S. These are two different shipments on two different invoices, not two copies of one sheet. A search of this release on the institution’s correct name does not return either sheet. It returns two documents in the whole release, and both of them are the tax filing in the next section.²¹⁰

The endorsement, and what the sheet does and does not date

In a magazine profile of Epstein he is quoted, by name, at length, in his own words. The sheet was read at the image at 400 dpi. Read the sentences that come immediately before the quotation, because they are the reporter’s frame and not his:

But it is his covey of scientists that inspires Epstein’s true rapture. Epstein spends $20 million a year on them — encouraging them to engage in whatever kind of cutting-edge research might attract their fancy. They are, of course, quite lavish in their praise in return. Gerald Edelman won the Nobel Prize for physiology and medicine in 1972 and now presides over the Neurosciences Institute in La Jolla. “Jeff is extraordinary in his ability to pick up on quantitative relations,” says Edelman. “He came to see us recently. He is concerned with this basic question: Is it true that the brain is not a computer? He is very quick.”⁹

Documented fact that the magazine printed these words as his, and credible allegation as to the fact they assert. The sentence He came to see us recently is his own account of a visit by Epstein to the institute, and it is the only such account in this release.

An earlier pass on this page identified this article as Vanity Fair’s “The Talented Mr. Epstein” and dated it to March 2003. That is wrong, and the sheet says so. The piece carries the byline Author E-mail: Landon Thomas Jr., it says of Epstein that he did not offer one to this magazine, and eight sheets in it reports:

Friends of Epstein say he is horrified at the recent swell of media attention around him (Vanity Fair is preparing a megaprofile, and the Villard House office has had a barrage of calls from other media outlets).⁹

So this article precedes the Vanity Fair profile; it is not the Vanity Fair profile. The first sheet of the same document carries a headline, present in the released text only: Jeffrey Epstein: International Moneyman of Mystery. That sheet was not opened and no character-level claim is made about it. No sheet of this document carries a publication date or names the magazine that ran it, and this page therefore does not date the endorsement and does not place it before or after the grant of 1 February 2003. The earlier pass built a question on those two events falling in the same few weeks. The question was built on a misidentification and it is withdrawn here, not repeated.

Vanity Fair’s profile is separately in the release, and in it he is named and not quoted. Its passage reads that among Epstein’s admirers are a gaggle of distinguished scientists, most of whom Epstein has helped fund in recent years. They include Nobel Prize winners Gerald Edelman and Murray Gell-Mann, and mathematical biologist Martin Nowak, and then characterises what these men say without quoting any of them. On that sheet he is a list entry.¹⁵

Seven documents in this release carry his quotation, not the fourteen the earlier pass reported. Five are copies of the Landon Thomas article, one is a web compilation excluded here, and the seventh is the 2010 solicitation in the section below.⁹

1 February 2003: Neurosciences Research Foundation, Inc. 250,000

One sheet, read at the image at 400 dpi. It is headed THE C.O.U.Q. FOUNDATION, INC.. / 13-3996471 / FORM 990-PF Y/E 2/28/03, marked STATEMENT 2, and sub-headed PART I, LINE 25 AND PART LINE 3 / CONTRIBUTIONS PAID / UNRESTRICTED - CASH. It lists eighteen payments and totals them. The fifteenth line reads, across its columns:

2/1/03 | Neurosciences Research Foundation, Inc. | 250,000²

The superlative was checked rather than assumed, and it is stronger than the earlier pass stated. All eighteen rows were read at the image; they sum to 1,245,000, which is the total printed under them; and the sheet of the return itself that this statement supports was also read at the image. That sheet is Form 990-PF (2002), Page 10, Part XV, Grants and Contributions Paid During the Year or Approved for Future Payment. Against a Paid during the year it prints Statement 2 and nothing else, its Total ▶3a is 1,245,000, and against b Approved for future payment it prints NONE with Total ▶3b of 0.

Statement 2 is therefore the whole of the grants this foundation reported paying in the year ending 28 February 2003, and 250,000 is the largest single one. The next largest is 5/30/02 Harvard University 200,000. Documented fact, on a filed information return.²

Money to an institution is not a payment to a person. Two structural facts on the return sheet say so. The recipient column of Part XV is headed Name and address (home or business) and the column beside it, If recipient is an individual, show any relationship to any foundation manager or substantial contributor, is blank for the entire schedule. And the column headed Purpose of grant or contribution is blank too. The return states no purpose for the $250,000.²

His name appears nowhere in the 177 sheets of this filing package. Every sheet was searched for it. The document reaches him only through the name of his institution, and the phrase Neurosciences Research Foundation occurs in exactly two documents in this entire release, both of them productions of this same filing.²

What the 177 sheets do show is how unusual this line is. The package carries the C.O.U.Q. Foundation’s returns across eight fiscal years, from a Form 990-PF for 1999 to the year ending 28 February 2007. The contributions-paid schedule itself was located and read for seven of the eight, with totals 100,000, 845,000, 1,245,000, 1,008,203, 844,227, 1,125,133 and 1,186,000; for the eighth, the 1999 return, only the 3,000 total on the return’s own Part XV was located and the schedule behind it was not. The Neurosciences Research Foundation stands on exactly one of the seven schedules, and a search of all 177 sheets returns its name on that one sheet and nowhere else. Documented fact, and bounded to this filer and these years: one grant, once, and never again.²

The same schedule ties this page to two others. The 2/28/03 schedule carries Santa Fe Institute twice, at 50,000 and 100,000, and Stockholm School of Economics at 25,000. Santa Fe is the institute co-founded by Murray Gell-Mann and it stands on five of the seven schedules located, among them a line reading 11/27/2006 Santa Fe Institute 75,000, which is the same date, the same payee and the same amount as the check whose memo line reads For Murray Gell-Mann Research at that page. That line is read from the released text of a sheet that was not opened. The Stockholm School of Economics also stands on five of the seven, and the fund held there is the subject of Barbro Ehnbom. Neither of those relationships is restated here. The finding that belongs to this page is the contrast: on this filer’s books, the institutions of the other two subjects are recurring recipients and his institution is a single line.²¹⁶

August 2009: the institute in Epstein’s eye

On 2 August 2009 Epstein answered a correspondent who had asked whether his friend was rbt adelman or howard adelman with four words: gerry edelman institute for neuro science. Two days later the same correspondent wrote to him: I'm touring neurosciences institute tomorrow. Documented fact that these messages were written. Neither says he was there, and nothing in this release records the tour taking place.¹⁷

22 October 2009: a project I am working on for Dr. Edelman

An officer of his institute wrote to Epstein’s assistant asking how to reach Epstein. The message is signed Rachel A. Jonte, Vice President for Institute Relations, The Neurosciences Institute, and its substance is one sentence:

I was wondering what would be the best way of scheduling a phone call to Jeffrey, or if you could let me know when a good time to call him would be. I wanted to reconnect and say hello to him and also to ask his advice and participation in a project I am working on for Dr. Edelman.⁷

Epstein’s assistant forwarded it with a covering line of her own: How do you wish me to respond? and Dr Edelman put you in touvh with her awhile ago I believe! The damage in that line belongs to the released text and is not mended here.

What this establishes, at the tier of documented fact: that an institutional officer solicited Epstein’s advice and participation in a project she describes as being for Gerald Edelman, and that Epstein’s own office believed Edelman had made the introduction. What the project was is not stated on this sheet or on any other sheet located for this page.¹²

February to October 2010: his approval as a condition, and then his platform

His name operates twice in the recruitment of a Stockholm conference, once as a gate and once as an inducement. The conference itself, the Swedish-American Life Science Summit, and the relationship that ran it belong to Barbro Ehnbom and are not restated here. What belongs here is the use made of him.

On 22 February 2010 the organiser wrote to Epstein asking whether he knew of nobelprize laurate Gerald M Edelman who now is doing research on Defining Conciousness.¹⁸

On 20 April 2010 she wrote again, hunting a speaker for the brain-and-music slot, and asked Epstein for a candidate, in her own capitals:

WHO ELSE BRAIN/MUSIC CONNECTION SCIENTIST! SPEAKER SALSS IN STH OCT 1 WHO ALSO EDELMAN WILL APPROVE OF AS WELL…?¹¹

Documented fact: his approval was treated as a condition on somebody else’s invitation. Whether he was ever asked, or ever gave or withheld an opinion, is not established by this sheet or by any other read for this page.

The candidate she had in mind declined. The document that carries her invitation is, on its first sheet, the refusal: a reply from the office of the neurologist she had approached, saying he was recuperating from surgery and at this point it does not look like he will be ready to travel to Europe by September. Her invitation is quoted beneath it, and his name is used twice in it: once as an inducement, We would be most honored to have you join our roster of speakers, which also includes your good friend and colleague Prof Gerald M Edelman, and once as programme, The next morning, Nobel Laureate Gerald Edelman will speak, hopefully preceded by H.M.King Carl XVI Gustaf having welcomed us to Sweden. The first evening was to be a reception at the residence of the United States Ambassador.¹⁹

On 7 October 2010 the conference was reported back to Epstein in five words about him. Epstein’s office relayed: Barbro called to say the conference went very, very well. Jerry Edelman's presentation was fabulous. Epstein replied great„ call week of 18th. He delivered it. Credible allegation, being one participant’s report of another’s performance, relayed through a third party.²⁰

16 June 2010: he telephoned, and a list is revealed

One sheet, two findings in one sentence. Epstein’s assistant to Epstein, subject Dr. Edelman:

Dr. Edelman called to give me his new cell number and to send you his regards. I have udatcd his cell in the computer and on your scientist list.⁶

The first finding is that the call came from him, unprompted. The second is in the last five words: Epstein’s office maintained a standing scientist list, and Gerald Edelman was a record on it that got updated. Nothing below that sentence is taken from this sheet. The damage udatcd is the released text’s and is not mended.

October 2010: he asks for a way in, and the dinner is held

On 11 October 2010, at 18:50:31, his Executive Assistant wrote to Epstein’s assistant. Read at the image at 400 dpi. Subject Dr. Edelman, addressed Dear Leslie,:

Dr. Edelman would like to contact Jeffrey Epstein. Could you please tell us the best way to get in touch with him?⁴

She signs Diana Eshelman, Executive Assistant to Gerald M. Edelman, M.D., Ph.D., The Neurosciences Institute. The next morning Epstein’s assistant forwarded it to him with three questions of her own: Would you like him to call your cell? Or shall he call the office and I connect him to your cell? Do we set a time? Nothing else is taken from this sheet.⁴

Epstein answered by fixing a date. That evening he wrote to his assistant a message whose entire body is gerald edelman oct 20th at 6 30 pm; she replied Great.⁵

The next morning he invited a third person. His message, in full: gerald edelman , one of the smartest men , is coming for dinner on the 20th„ , come , just you. The doubled punctuation is the sheet’s and is not mended. The guest asked He's 81 so I assume he eats early? and, on the line below it, What time?, and Epstein answered 630-7. The guest is named on these sheets. Her status could not be established, the burden is inverted, and she is described here by role only. No name and no initial is given for her.⁵

He was 81 in October 2010. That is a corroboration of identity and nothing more.

On 20 October the office ran the meal, and the whole run stands on one sheet, on one clock. At 11:33 AM Epstein’s assistant wrote: Both Dr. Edelman and [the other guest] have no dietary restrictions...let me know what you would like us to order! (Dr. Edelman says he will eat anything). At 11:42 AM Epstein replied chicken. At 11:45 AM she answered I will have the chicken parm ordered from Scalinatella tonight!. At 11:58 AM Epstein wrote only for them.⁵

Nine days, from an approach made by his office to the food on the table, and the host was not eating. No document located for this page records what was discussed, or confirms after the event that the dinner took place. What is documented is that it was arranged in full and that the day-sheet for 20 October carried it: You have dinner tonight with Jerry Edelman and [the other guest] at 6:30.⁵¹²

15 October 2010: the words, resold

Five days before that dinner, a correspondent asked Epstein for permission to run a reputation campaign, and showed him the copy. Read at the image at 400 dpi. The message opens I need to ask before I do something... and continues:

Do you have any objection for me contacting some of your supporters and getting some quotes on your behalf that I can publish on the web?

Below is an example of how I am doing it, which repeats your name over and over, which is what drives things to the top of the search list. Also, at the same time it stresses the positive. I could use similar examples from Murray, Marvin, Howard, etc. I can use all the examples below because they have been published.⁸

Seven sample blurbs follow, attributed to a former President, a former chief executive of Bear Stearns, two Harvard professors, a technologist, a professor of engineering, and him. His reads:

“Jeffrey Epstein is extraordinary in his ability to pick up on quantitative relations. He came to see us recently. He is concerned with this basic question: Is it true that the brain is not a computer? He is very quick.” - Gerald Edelman, Nobel Prize laureate⁸

Set that beside the magazine sheet, which was also read at the image. The magazine prints "Jeff is extraordinary in his ability to pick up on quantitative relations," says Edelman. The blurb prints "Jeffrey Epstein is extraordinary in his ability to pick up on quantitative relations. Documented fact: the first two words of his quotation were replaced with Epstein’s full name, and the covering note in the same message states the reason: repetition of the name is what drives things to the top of the search list.⁸⁹

The sample was assembled carelessly, which bears on how much weight any of it will take: two of the seven blurbs are word-for-word identical and are attributed to two different professors.⁸

Eight days earlier Epstein had proposed the same operation in his own words, in a message to the same correspondent: my suggestion is that we use the twenty or so scientists that i have funded. murray , seth lloyd trivers, edelman, smmlin, hillis, and use their stories as web page hits.. epstein funded so and so, could be the web page for forbes. etc.. That sheet gives edelman as a bare surname with no forename anywhere on it. 493 documents in this release carry that surname and most of them are other people. This page quotes the list as a list of surnames and does not treat the word as an attribution. The question it raises, and does not answer, is whether the edelman in Epstein’s roster of funded scientists is this man.¹⁴

January 2011: proposed by his office, declined, and remade

On 12 January 2011, in a message his own sheet times On Jan 12, 2011, at 12:59 PM, Epstein’s office reported an approach from his side:

Diana from Dr Edelaman’s office called to firm up the plans for the evenin= of Mon Jan 17th. Dr Edelman was thinking around 6:30-7:00 for arrival…? =Wondering if it will be dinner? May I confirm both?

Epstein’s whole reply, on the same sheet and on the same clock at Wednesday, January 12, 2011 5:54 PM, is four words: Will not be in town. This quotation was attributed by an earlier pass on this page to two identifiers, neither of which carries it. One of them has no message body at all. It is pinned here to the sheet that prints it.²¹

The next day his office moved twice. Epstein’s assistant reported:

Dr. Edelman has already rescheduled his Monday evening and had started shuffling things around for Tues. 18th so he could come and sec you ..he is asking if at all possible you could see him at 5:00 on Tues. 18th (before dinner he said)

May I schedule this for you?

Epstein’s reply is one word: yes. The damage sec for see is the released text’s and is not mended.²²

Documented fact: an offer made on his side, declined on Epstein’s, and remade on his side at the cost of two rearranged evenings. No document located for this page records the 18 January meeting taking place.¹²

13 February 2013: the one document he wrote

One sheet, read at the image at 400 dpi, Bates EFTA_R1_00807572. The header prints From: Gerald M. Edelman, Sent: Wed 2/13/2013 9:15:10 PM, Subject: RE: Jeffrey Epstein. The whole of what this page takes from the body of his message is four lines:

Dear

Let him try

Regards,

GME³

Nothing else whatever is taken from this sheet, and this page makes no statement of any kind about anything else that stands on it.

It is a reply, and the message it answers is quoted on the same sheet. Epstein’s assistant had written that morning:

Hello Dr. Edelman. Jeffrey would like to speak with you…might you have some time to talk today?

Please let me know!…and if so, what number should he call you on?²³

Her copy of that message signs Lesley / Assistant to Jeffrey Epstein, and the recipient line files him under his institution before his own name, as Neurosciences Research Edelman Dr. Gerald. That inverted form is the only route into six documents in this release, and no search on his name in any ordinary order reaches them.²³¹

Epstein’s assistant answered him the same evening, on a sheet timed Sent: Wed 2/13/2013 9:19:52 PM: terrific. I will let him know and pass along the number. and, on the line below it, thanks, Lesley. She then wrote to Epstein: Please try calling Dr. Edelman...he is available. He hopes you can call in the next 10 minutes or so... Epstein’s reply to that, timed on his own sheet Sent Thur 2/14/2013 12:41:26 AM, is four words: send me his email. No interval between any two of these four messages is stated here, because no two of their times are printed on one sheet on one clock.²⁴

A complete two-way exchange inside one day, with both parties acting: the office asks, he answers in writing over his initials, the office relays, he is reported available and waiting, and Epstein asks for a further means of reaching him. The Sent: lines on these sheets are not all on one clock: some print in coordinated universal time and some in the local time of the writer, and the same message is stamped differently on different sheets. This page quotes each timestamp exactly as its own sheet prints it and derives no interval that is not printed on a single sheet. An earlier pass on this page put ten hours between the two messages by comparing two clocks.²⁵

Undated, after 2011: the sentence about him that nobody edited

A ten-sheet draft of website copy for the Jeffrey Epstein VI Foundation is in the release with its revisions still showing. Read at the image at 400 dpi. The insertions and strikethrough described below are the document’s own tracked changes, made by whoever drafted it, and are nothing else. Under the heading Support of Leading Scientists, a whole paragraph about a single scientist is struck through, and a broader claim is inserted in its place: In addition to Dr. Martin Nowak, Jeffrey Epstein has supported the work of countless eminent scientists and Nobel Laureats around the world.

The sentence that follows was rewritten around its list and the list itself was left alone. Struck: In fact, Mr. Epstein has supported the research of. Inserted: In list and includes. And in the middle of the paragraph, in unrevised black type, stands Gerald Edelman, Murray Gell-Mann, Stephen Hawking, Kip Thorne, Marvin Minsky, Lawrence Krauss, and Gregory Benford.

An earlier pass on this page reported his name as being inside the revision. It is not. It is in the part nobody touched. What the redlining shows is an editor moving a sponsorship claim from a specific and checkable statement about one named scientist to an unbounded one about countless eminent scientists, while leaving the seven-name list standing as the only concrete thing in the paragraph. Documented fact as to the editing. Whether the claim the list supports is true of him is not established by this draft, which is promotional copy written by or for the foundation, and the misspelling Nobel Laureats is in the inserted text.²⁶

17 to 20 May 2014: the news travels

He died in May 2014. This release does not establish the date. It establishes when Epstein was told.

A correspondent wrote to Epstein under the subject quit, on a sheet timed Sent Saturday, May 17, 2014 5:03:55 PM: Gerry Edelman passed away. You probably know this. Nothing else is taken from that sheet.

Epstein wrote back two words and a question mark, on a sheet timed Sent Mon 5/19/2014 12:49:37 PM: gerry edelman , when? The answer he got, on a sheet timed Sent: Mon 5/19/2014 1:20:52 PM, was not a date: I think the day or day before I sent that email. No interval between these messages is stated here; their times are printed on different sheets and the one sheet that carries two of them carries them on two different clocks.

On a sheet timed Sent: Tue 5/20/2014 1:47:46 PM his office reported a third-hand arrival of the same news: Howard Gardner called to catch up...he says he read that Jerry Edelman died!²⁷

The released text of the 19 May reply renders Epstein’s quoted words as gcrry edelman. That is a statement about the released text of that sheet, which was not opened, and not about its ink. It is the damaged form that matters most for searching, because no list of predicted misspellings reaches it: it turns a e into a c in a diminutive that is itself outside the full-name search.²⁷¹

2 July 2018: the name as a template

Four years after his death Epstein used him as a model for something he was proposing to somebody else. The message, in full as it bears on him:

i think making a foundation plan ala gerry edelman to find the supersmarts is much more fun. but i understand if you still want to build your operating room cred.²⁸

The correspondent is not identified on the sheet and is not named or described here beyond being a surgeon, which is what the thread below it says of him. Documented fact that Epstein wrote it. What a foundation plan ala gerry edelman meant to him is not stated anywhere in this release.

Elsewhere in the papers: the lists

He is also, repeatedly, a name on other people’s lists, and those collapse hard. A list is one thing however many times it recurs, and copies are not corroboration. The recurring roster of scientists that ends gerald edelman ,, its irregular spacing and its reach across this release, is read at the image and measured at Lisa Randall and is not restated here. His name prints there in lower case, so a case-sensitive search of that page for him returns nothing. The undated sheet headed Scientist's to Visit Jeffrey, on which his line is blank, is read at the image at Murray Gell-Mann. The sheet headed List of Scientists! that names Jerry Edelman is at Mark Tramo. Epstein’s prepared answer naming him among his mentors is at Murray Gell-Mann.¹⁶

Two smaller list documents are his own and belong here. On 7 July 2011 Epstein’s assistant sent him a call list headed Call List (let me know when you wish to start) whose first line is Jerry Edelman.²⁹ And on 13 September 2010 a correspondent proposed to Epstein a Neuro Nobel Roundtable, listing a Panel for discussion of five in which gerry edelman stands second, with a proposed $10K honorarium plus $2000 plane for each, and called it the first COUQie Nobel Round Table. COUQie is that correspondent’s diminutive for the same foundation whose return records the $250,000. No document located for this page records the roundtable happening.³⁰

And on 15 December 2009 Epstein wrote to a correspondent, inside a subject line that runs on into the message: the issues that i told you and gerry edelman ten years ago. is that money is like blood for the system.. its nothin to be ashamed. of.. come and get some counseling. Question. Epstein places a conversation with him around 1999, which is the year of the first courier consignment, and nothing in this release corroborates that conversation or dates it.³¹

What this page does not establish

This page is about documents. Where they stop, it stops. Specifically:

• It does not establish that he asked for the $250,000, knew of it, was told of it, or had any part in obtaining it. No covering letter, grant agreement, acknowledgement, board minute or thank-you was located, in any direction, for any date.¹²
• It does not establish a purpose for the grant. The return’s own purpose column is blank.²
• It does not establish that the grant was solicited by his institute, although an officer of his institute solicited Epstein’s advice and participation in an unnamed project for him six years later.⁷
• It does not establish the order of the grant and the endorsement. The endorsement sheet carries no date. The earlier pass on this page that put them in the same few weeks was relying on a misidentification of the magazine.⁹
• It does not establish what was in any of the four envelopes, or who signed for the 1999 one beyond the initial and surname printed on the invoice.¹⁰
• It does not establish that the dinner of 20 October 2010, the tour of August 2009, the meeting of 18 January 2011 or the Neuro Nobel Roundtable took place. Each is documented up to the point of arrangement and no further.¹²
• It does not establish his date of death from this release. The only sheet that reports it gives no date, and the only answer to Epstein’s direct question is I think the day or day before I sent that email.²⁷
• It does not establish whether he appears in the one run of this release that the local copy does not hold. That run was re-queried against the released files themselves for this subject, at the sheet level: 0 of its 170 sheets carry his surname, against 24 that carry Epstein’s. He is genuinely absent from it.³²
• It says nothing whatever about the condition of any sheet cited here beyond the words quoted from it. No statement anywhere on this page describes, locates, counts or characterises any mark applied to any sheet in the course of its production. Two statements on this page are about unfilled columns of a printed tax form and one is about the drafter’s own strikethrough in a draft; neither kind of thing is a mark applied in production, and neither is offered as one.
• It does not treat a bare surname as an attribution. 493 documents in this release carry the surname. Four of them were returned by a form measurement run for this page, were read at the sheet, and were removed as another bearer: three are the furnishings company Edelman Leather and one is a county property roll. The rest of the 493 were not swept name by name for this page. An earlier internal pass reported having separated them and named a dozen other bearers. That separation was not re-verified here and no count of it is published on this page.¹

Footnotes

Footnotes

1. Name-form measurement run for this page on 2026-10-01, against the full-text index of this release. Method, stated so that it can be repeated: the candidate pool is every sheet returned by the index for the tokens edelman, edeiman or edelaman, which is 597 sheets in 493 documents; each sheet’s text is lower-cased, its whitespace collapsed with re.sub(r'\s+',' ',t), and a second view is built in which a hyphen followed by a line break is removed, so that a word broken across a line is reachable; every form is then tested against both views. Counts, all COUNTED: gerald edelman 93 sheets / 91 documents; gerry edelman 40/40; jerry edelman 17/17; dr. edelman 28/28; dr edelman 8/8; gerald m. edelman 10/10; gerald m edelman 3/3; edelman dr. gerald 6/6; prof gerald m edelman 1/1; edeiman 2/2; edelaman 2/2; gcrry edelman 1/1; g. edelman 1/1; g edelman 3/2; neural darwinism 11/7. Returned zero: edelman, gerald, professor edelman, edel man, edel-man, ede1man, eclelman, gerald edelmann, jerrold edelman, gerrey edelman. Thirteen invented controls, each a one-character or two-character corruption of a form that returned a non-zero count in the same pass, all returned zero: zzdelman, gerald qxelman, gerry zzdelman, jerry zzdelman, dr. zzdelman, gerald m. zzdelman, zzdelman dr. gerald, edeizman, gcrry zzdelman, edelazan, neural zzarwinism, gerald zzdelman, prof gerald m zzdelman. Four documents returned by the initial-form and damaged-form tests were read and removed as another bearer: three are the furnishings company Edelman Leather and one is a county property roll. The overlap between the full-name set of 103 documents and the diminutive set of 58 is zero. ⚠ The 35 Dr. Edelman documents are PROBABLE, not certain: 11 carry a forename on the same sheet, and the remaining 24 are corroborated only by their Epstein-orbit context. No finding on this page rests on one of those 24, and none rests on a bare surname. ⚠ Two earlier internal passes gave 191 and 183 for this footprint. Neither figure reproduces on any grouping this pass could construct, and the decomposition above is published in place of either. ⚠ The forms tested are not exhaustive: no edit-distance enumeration was run, two productive damaged forms (gcrry, edelaman) were found only by hand after reading sheets, so assume a third. ↩ ↩² ↩³ ↩⁴ ↩⁵

2. Form 990-PF, Return of Private Foundation, THE C.O.U.Q. FOUNDATION, INC., EIN 13-3996471, for the year ending 28 February 2003, inside a 177-sheet production of that foundation’s returns. https://epstein-data.com/EFTA00224262 . Two sheets of it VERIFIED AT THE IMAGE at 400 dpi. The schedule stands on p. 80 (1-indexed, as this site serves it; the local extraction numbers it page_number 79), and the sheet’s own Bates stamp is EFTA00224341. From that sheet this page takes the four heading lines, the single line 2/1/03 Neurosciences Research Foundation, Inc. 250,000, the line 5/30/02 Harvard University 200,000, the printed total 1,245,000, the two Santa Fe Institute lines and the Stockholm School of Economics line. All eighteen rows were read at the image and they sum to the printed total, which is why this footnote can say the schedule is complete as extracted. The return sheet that this statement supports stands on p. 76 (database page_number 75), Bates EFTA00224337, and was also VERIFIED AT THE IMAGE at 400 dpi; from it this page takes Form 990-PF (2002), Page 10, Part XV, the line-3 heading, the words Statement 2 against a Paid during the year, the Total ▶3a figure 1,245,000, the word NONE against b Approved for future payment, the Total ▶3b figure 0, and the fact that the Purpose of grant or contribution column and the column headed If recipient is an individual, show any relationship to any foundation manager or substantial contributor carry no entry anywhere on the schedule. ⚠⚠ doc_type types this document financial.tax; a second production of the same filing package, at https://epstein-data.com/EFTA00192298, carries the same schedule at its p. 140 and is typed blank.white. Neither type is a filter and neither was relied on. Block S was run on both documents at the sheet level: across 177 and 327 sheets, victim, complainant, massage, jane doe, minor, underage, accuser, sexual abuse, plaintiff, grand jury, sentencing, impact statement, crime victim, restitution, cvra and doe v all return zero, and armed controls (zzvictimzz, jane zzdoe, complainzznt, sexual zzabuse, zzmassage) also return zero. All 177 sheets were searched for his name and it is on none of them. Seven annual contributions-paid schedules in this production were located and read in the extraction, for the years ending 28 February 2001 (p. 49, Statement 3, total 100,000), 28 February 2002 (p. 65, Statement 4, 845,000), 28 February 2003 (p. 80, Statement 2, 1,245,000), 29 February 2004 (pp. 98 and 117, two copies of Statement 2, 1,008,203), 28 February 2005 (pp. 134 to 135, Statement 5, 844,227), 28 February 2006 (p. 149, Statement 5, 1,125,133) and 28 February 2007 (p. 171, Statement 6, 1,186,000). An eighth year is in the package, a Form 990-PF for 1999 whose Part XV total of 3,000 stands at p. 30, and its schedule was not located. Only the 2/28/03 schedule carries the Neurosciences Research Foundation, and six of the seven located schedules are cited from the text layer only and were not opened. Measured over all 177 sheets of the extraction: santa fe institute stands on schedules for five of the seven years and stockholm on five of the seven; EFTA00224262 p. 171, the 2/28/07 schedule, is one of the sheets NOT opened, and the 11/27/2006 Santa Fe Institute 75,000 line quoted in the body is a text-layer reading only. The phrase neurosciences research foundation returns two documents in this release, both productions of this filing; armed controls zzeurosciences research foundation and neurosciences zzesearch foundation return zero. ⛔ Nothing else on any sheet of this production is reproduced, characterised or relied on, including every other recipient not named above. ↩ ↩² ↩³ ↩⁴ ↩⁵ ↩⁶ ↩⁷ ↩⁸ ↩⁹

Specifically: no document in which he asks for money, acknowledges money, or refers to the grant of 1 February 2003 was located, in either direction, for any date; no covering letter, grant agreement, acknowledgement or board minute for that grant was located; no statement of purpose for it appears on the return that records it; no second payment to the Neurosciences Research Foundation or to The Neurosciences Institute was located, and the institution’s name was measured across the whole release and returns two documents, both productions of the same filing; no record of what was in any of the four courier envelopes was located, the reference field on every one of the four reading NO REFERENCE INFORMATION; no document recording that the dinner of 20 October 2010 took place, or what was discussed at it, was located; no document recording the institute tour of August 2009, the meeting proposed for 18 January 2011, or the Neuro Nobel Roundtable taking place was located; no document identifying the project I am working on for Dr. Edelman was located; no statement by him about Jeffrey Epstein other than the single magazine quotation was located; no document written by him other than the reply of 13 February 2013 was located; and no sheet in this release was located that states his date of death. ⚠ The search forms used to reach this file are listed at ¹ and are not exhaustive: no edit-distance enumeration was run, the bare-surname residual of 493 documents has not been swept name by name, and two productive damaged spellings of his name were found by hand rather than predicted, so assume a third. ↩ ↩² ↩³ ↩⁴ ↩⁵ ↩⁶

13. Documents carrying his name that are excluded from this page, and why. ⛔ A witness deposition taken in a survivor’s civil action, on which the word massage stands on 44, 21 and 12 sheets of its three productions, contains the question Do you recall the name Jerry Edelman? and the answer No. That is a denial. A negative is not a connection and it is not presented as one, and the identifiers are not linked from this page. ⛔ Epstein’s own continued deposition of 8 October 2009 in a claimant’s action, on which massage stands on 16 sheets and underage on 14, contains a question about him answered with the same Fifth-Amendment formula Epstein gave to nine other names and to his own employment history. The refusal is blanket and it is not an Edelman finding. It is read at the image, in its place in the run, at Ben Goertzel. ⛔ A defence expert disclosure served in a criminal trial against the testimony of women who testified at it, on which victim stands on 8 of 14 sheets and which the extraction mistypes as research.article, contains one line about him. That line is already published at Steve Bannon and this page does not mine the filing for anything else. ⛔ One 2009 message in which Epstein proposes scientists including him is excluded in full, because the scientist-recruitment matter and an unrelated private arrangement concerning an unnamed woman share a single message, her status cannot be established, and no part of that message is quoted, paraphrased or linked here. ⛔ Two identifiers that carry the surname are barred from citation by this desk’s register and are not cited. ⛔ One message of 14 October 2010 in which an edelman speaks about an agreement and a payment is excluded: the bearer could not be resolved, and it is not attributed to him. ⛔ One list on which Edelman is followed immediately by Dr. Gerald Leach is excluded: the forename belongs to the next man on the list. ↩

From this sheet this page takes the message body as far as could be the web page for forbes. etc.. and nothing after it. ⛔⛔ The surname edelman stands on this sheet with no forename anywhere on it, and this page does not treat it as an attribution to Gerald Edelman. It is quoted as one item in a list of surnames, and the body frames the identification as a question. Block S: every term zero. Two further copies are at https://epstein-data.com/EFTA01978671 and https://epstein-data.com/EFTA00897216; neither was opened. ⚠ The other surnames in the list are quoted as the sheet spells them and are not corrected or expanded. ↩ ↩²

Block S: every term zero. ⚠ He is named on this sheet and not quoted, which is the point made in the body. ⛔ Nothing else on this sheet is reproduced or characterised, including the sentence about Gell-Mann that follows, which belongs to Murray Gell-Mann. **A second copy carrying the same passage is at https://epstein-data.com/EFTA00188312 p. 110, a 170-sheet compilation, on which Block S returns plaintiff on two sheets and grand jury on one; it was not opened and it is not relied on.

16. Material about him that is already published on this wiki and is deliberately not restated here. The recurring roster of scientists ending gerald edelman ,, its irregular spacing, an image reading of it, and a corpus-wide measurement of its reach: Lisa Randall. ⚠ His name prints on that page in lower case, so a case-sensitive search of it for him returns nothing; every search run for this page was case-insensitive as well as whitespace-normalised. The Fifth-Amendment run in Epstein’s October 2009 deposition, in which the question about him is one of an unbroken series of identically answered questions about ten names and about Epstein’s own employment history, read at the image: Ben Goertzel. The single line about him in a defence expert disclosure served in a criminal trial: Steve Bannon. The undated sheet headed Scientist's to Visit Jeffrey, on which four names including his carry no dates: Murray Gell-Mann. Epstein’s prepared answer naming him first among his scientific mentors: Murray Gell-Mann. The sheet headed List of Scientists! naming Jerry Edelman: Mark Tramo. The Stockholm summit, its funding and the fund at the Stockholm School of Economics: Barbro Ehnbom. ⚠⚠ That last page carries the material without naming him anywhere, so no name-based coverage check can find it; it was found by sweeping the tree for the subject matter instead. ↩ ↩²

32. Statement about the corpus, not about him. One run of fifty documents in this release, 170 sheets, is absent from the local copy of the full-text corpus that this desk normally searches, so a local test for any subject inside it can only return zero and is worthless. It was re-queried against the served corpus for this subject, at the sheet level: 0 of the 170 sheets carry his surname, against 24 that carry epstein. ⚠ The arm is the point: the query works, and it returns nothing for him. His absence from that run is therefore measured, not assumed. ↩
