- 2026-08-28 · Factual correction. Treated the coefficient of variation as a two-way test of hazard shape; a CV of 1 does not imply an exponential law, nor a CV below 1 an increasing hazard.
- 2026-08-28 · Factual correction. Credited both renewal limits to the elementary renewal theorem; the almost-sure limit N(t)/t → 1/μ is the renewal strong law.
Editions¶
| Version | Date | Change | What changed |
|---|---|---|---|
| v5 | 2026-09-28 | Added the plain-language explanation ladder: age-graded explanations of the idea, from an explain-like-I'm-five version up to a specialist one. | structure — eli ladder (added) |
| v4 | 2026-08-30 | internal-notes separation: curator bookkeeping moved out of reader-facing Notes | prose — concise body (prose edited), detailed body (prose edited) |
| v3 | 2026-08-28 | Stage F reference pass over the 30 de-templated primes (batch DP-75). Every load-bearing claim now carries a citation web-verified to exist AND to support that specific sentence: 450 FACT anchors, 279 sources, 276 with an authoritative title-link. Claims no reputable source supports are keyed unverified and listed in each entry's Notes for revisit; claims where reputable sources conflict are softened, cited, and recorded as contested. 20 prose fixes were proposed on verification grounds and independently adjudicated - 16 accepted, 4 revised to the adjudicator's alternative. An independent adversarial spot-check of one citation per prime found zero fabrications. Also includes Substrate Independence sections backfilled on three already-referenced primes, and one heading rename to the corpus standard. | prose — detailed body (prose edited) |
| v2 | 2026-08-27 | De-templated and re-authored 30 primes that were substandard. | prose — detailed body (prose edited) |
| v1 | 2026-08-24 | First published edition. | first published edition |
Editions are cut at publish time from a content hash of the entity's canonical source, so a version changes only when the content actually changed. Full canonical content for every edition, and the exact per-part diffs between them, are in the downloadable editions archive (editions_archive.jsonl); the current-state index is versions.jsonl.
