The quotation (15 words) matched the text retrieved for the candidate pack on 2026-10-28 (research/key-papers/verification.json).

Status and meaning

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. A paper or other publication describes its own contribution, quoted from the expression the record names, usually its abstract or introduction. The record is the document’s own description, not an assessment: a claim of priority or novelty it contains is the document’s claim, flagged as such, and says nothing about earlier or later work.

Date. Date of the arXiv version quoted, submitted 8 December 2021 (UTC); later versions may word it differently.
