The remaining information-theory-specific comparison and endpoint bundle is narrow and falsifiable, but the critic does not establish a sufficiently material residual opportunity for finalist selection, especially given unresolved or unfavorable efficacy evidence."},{"hypothesis_id":"H4","lane":"DIFFUSION","reason":"Established practice: IEEE supplementary-material workflows already implement recoverable offloading while requiring self-contained main text. The proposed checklist and performance threshold are incremental validation details, and problem support is weak."}],"selection_reason":"No candidate qualifies as a differentiated-opportunity finalist: H1 is researchable but substantially collides with direct prior experiments, while H4 is established practice and therefore ineligible."}
