Two research manuscripts — 26 October 2026

M26 and G02, with complete candidate proofs, exact scope and sequential audit records.

Yuxuan Zhang · Version 1 · 26 October 2026

These two manuscripts consolidate the M26 and G02 proof records into standalone papers. Both carry full-scope candidate arguments and received a sequential proof and source-interface audit by the assembling agent. Independent review of the complete manuscripts and their novelty remains outstanding. This review status differs from the independent reviews recorded for the 22 October release.

The papers list EPFL first and Princeton University second. Each download package contains the LaTeX manuscript, original target, preserved proof records, current audit and file hashes.

2 manuscripts, 20 pages. Version and file-hash manifest.

M26 keeps the sparse logarithmic-depth statement separate from its fixed-depth Gaussian conclusion. G02 gives a sufficient weak-field preparation window and does not establish a quantum-versus-classical advantage. Neither publication constitutes external refereeing, a formal certificate, a priority guarantee, or catalog acceptance.
