Thank you for helping me debug. I've found more good stuff - including Everett's thesis. I don't agree with his fundamental conclusions, but he's a good read. Some of the long thesis is very much like Korzybski, but without the repetitive jargon laced pontifications - i.e., much improved read over K.

Directory at Google site with all the links and docs above. Also links to Washington University at St. Louis copyright form for this doc, Everett's thesis, long and short forms, and Jaynes' paper (the papers they were discussing in their correspondence). I hope to be adding the final letter in this exchange, Jaynes to Hewitt 17-June-1957, within a couple of weeks. , and maybe some documents from the Yahoo Group ETJaynesStudy as well.
