The Cyclades project started in 1971.

Running from 1973 with four nodes in France until 1976 with 20 nodes in three countries.

Also check the documentary "Viva Cyclades - The french engineers who didn't invent the internet" available to rent online: https://www.khorafilm.com/en/movie/viva-cyclades-the-french-engineers-who-didnt-invent-the-internet/

(Apparently, X.25 wg view it as a menace)

Obviously based on 'the internet depends on one random guy' meme. But the one I saw had labels. As I recall the collapsed section of the Internet on the left is the bit that is vibe coded. Perhaps someone can find it?

You bet wrong. I was running comms from Lancaster to Manchester, Reading and London over X.25 (one of the Orange Book protocols) in 1986. The Orange Book was then ten years old, so OSI is at least fifty years old.

The OSI folks were complaining about it 40 years ago before it ever became popular.

The majority of the flaws I complain about were glaringly obvious at the design stage.
