In the paper
“The reason is that the causal patch does not have the analog of an ultraviolet boundary.Because AdS has such a boundary it is possible to modify the boundary conditions without changing the fact that the bulk theory still satisfies the bulk field equations.Without such a boundary there is no way to do the same for de Sitter space.”

Each contradiction between two passages listed here was confirmed by an independent check.

Covariant entropy bound points to the wrong reference
Minor
The cited entry [31] concerns the gravitational Hamiltonian. The reference list instead identifies [32] as the covariant entropy conjecture.
Both ring metrics are assigned to the inside region
Minor
The first metric is described as the solution outside the ring, but its stated range is r < r0. The metric explicitly described as inside the ring has the same range, leaving no stated range for the exterior solution.
Entropy formula has the opposite sign
Minor
For a normalized density matrix, Trρ log ρ is nonpositive. It therefore cannot equal the stated entropy, which is the logarithm of a number of effective states.

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.

A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-06, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).

A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-06 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).

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.
