Now ask iCIDM questions

Explorer: What did CIDM publish about Cryptococcus?

Navigator: Which typed roads connect papers to themes, pathogens, technologies and journals?

Evidence: Why is a given road visible?

Question: Which apparent gaps survive retrieval, taxonomy and domain review?

Reality Return: What would a CIDM colleague confirm, correct, reject, or investigate next?

Boundary: this is a corpus-derived historical journey, not a claim that the selected six papers are the six most important Cryptococcus papers, nor that publication sequence alone proves capability evolution. The purpose is to make a transparent, reviewable road through real CIDM records.
