Verification

Claims the paper makes

We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The appearance of arbitrarily large universes causes the need for a cutoff.

    “It is in particular the appearance of arbitrarily large universes that causes the need for a cutoff [5]”

    From Dimensionality, topology, energy, the cosmological constant and signature change (1996) · cites this paper as [5]

  • In a model containing wormholes, a mismatch between probabilistic law and actual dynamics may be due to an effect induced by the existence of a wormhole scale.

    “In a model containing wormholes, such a mismatch between propabilistic law and actual dynamics may also be due to an effect induced by the existence of a wormhole scale (whose magnitude is unknown, cf.Ref. [5]).”

    From Dimensionality, topology, energy, the cosmological constant and signature change (1996) · cites this paper as [5]

  • In a model including wormholes, Λ should rapidly fall to zero once the size of the universe exceeds the wormhole scale.

    “whereas in a model including wormholes it should rapidly fall to zero, once the size of the universe exceeds the wormhole scale [5]”

    From Dimensionality, topology, energy, the cosmological constant and signature change (1996) · cites this paper as [5]

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
