Reuse: No open redistribution licence asserted. Bibliographic metadata, editorial paraphrases and short attributed quotations (at most 50 words each). Recheck terms before wider redistribution.
Check notes: Candidate pack passage, compute, power and orbit (research/compute-power-orbit). The quotation (11 words) matched the text retrieved for the candidate pack on 2026-10-28 and again at admission on 2026-10-30, in a fresh retrieval (SHA-256 7d644c54bf0221e078ceaf736180643eafb1d1398f4173d94e063db5b27011ea; the bytes differ from the pack’s retrieval). Matching ignored differences of whitespace, case, quotation marks, dashes and Unicode compatibility forms, so the source’s typography can differ. A cross-family machine check (2026-10-29/30, item 9) answered the record’s question blind from fresh retrievals and agreed with the record. No human editorial review.
