Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
For a system with entropy S, the level spacing is of order exp(-S), and the Poincaré recurrence time is of order exp(S).
“For a system with entropy S the level spacing is of order exp (-S) and the time scale is the Poincaré recurrence [15,16,17] time t p ∼ exp S.”
From The trouble with de Sitter space (2003) · cites this paper as [15]
The N-bound discussion (section 5, eq. 5.3) bounds observable entropy, but does not relate entropy to energy-level spacing or a Poincaré recurrence time. Searches of our copy for “Poincaré recurrence,” “recurrence,” and “level spacing” found no passage addressing either relation. (LLM, conf=0.72)

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.
