What changed

Uniform generalization could be analyzed through the complexity of a class of events.

Scientific scope

Vapnik and Chervonenkis's 1971 full paper; 1968 announcement, later PAC and statistical-learning developments separate.

Evidence

The linked sources identify this contribution and its scope. WRS has not independently reconstructed the scientific claims. The record is the exact 1971 English journal paper. Its cited 1968 Russian note, later VC-dimension terminology, PAC learning and later generalization bounds remain separate.
