Abstract

Victor Hugo suggested the possibility that patterns created by the movement of grains of sand are in no small part responsible for the shape and feel of the natural world we live in. Certainly, granular materials, of which sand is but one example, are ubiquitous in our daily lives. They play an important role in industries, such as mining, agriculture and construction. They also are important in geological processes, such as landslides and erosion and, on a larger scale, plate tectonics, which determine much of Earth's morphology. Practically everything we eat started out in a granular form and the clutter on our desks is often so close to the angle of repose that a chance perturbation can create an avalanche onto the floor.

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.
