Reuse: No open redistribution licence asserted. Bibliographic metadata and brief attributed paraphrases only; no full source, personal contact details or dataset imported.
Check notes: Candidate pack passage, key papers (research/key-papers). The quotation (29 words) matched the text retrieved for the candidate pack on 2026-10-28 (research/key-papers/verification.json). Matching ignored differences of whitespace, case, quotation marks, dashes and line-break hyphens, so the source’s typography can differ. No human editorial review.

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 20 July 2017 (UTC); later versions may word it differently.
