Editorial status. Not reviewed by an editor. An exploratory record that no editor has accepted. This status does not say whether a person has read any linked passage. Each evidence record above shows how it was checked.

Relation. Publication of a specific document or version. Publication of a policy is not evidence of implementation.

Date. Submission date of the cited arXiv version; not the model's release date and not the date of later versions.
