Abstract

Random two-dimensional patterns crop up in a wide variety of scientific contexts. What do they have in common? How can they be classified or analysed? These questions are underlined, and partly answered, by a survey of such patterns, paying particular attention to soap cell networks, metallurgical grain structures and the Giant's Causeway.

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.
