FINAL LITERATURE REVIEW BINDING
18 October 2026 (America/Chicago). Independent AI review.

PASS: the substantive originality/attribution/scope disposition in
reviews/final_originality_review.txt carries forward to the final source
and PDF identified below. Initial and final prior review records are preserved.

FRESH EXACT DIFF
Compared every final manuscript file with evidence/source_review1 by a
read-only unified source diff. geometry.tex,inference.tex,stopping.tex and
trajectory.tex are byte-identical. main.tex adds only hyperref PDF title,
author,subject and keyword metadata. references.tex adds a scoped ragged-right
group and changes the displayed text of the Schubr2026 link to "Permanent
archive" while retaining exactly the same permanent edition-1 URL.
There is no change in mathematics, related-work attribution, reference
metadata, citation keys, inference quantifiers or the coverage limitation.
No new substantive proof or originality assessment is inferred from layout.

The actual PDF hash was recomputed and matched. Read-only pypdf inspection
confirmed13 pages, the intended title/author/subject/keywords metadata, and
the Schubr link annotation still targets

This binding does not replace the separate rendered-page/layout inspection.

UNCHANGED ORIGINALITY LIMIT
No checked primary theorem subsumes the combined actual nonlinear sampled
first-hit score theorem. The focused literature comparison supports a
meaningful specialist contribution, conditional on the separate analytic
proof review. It does not establish worldwide priority, exhaustive literature
closure, external human refereeing or formal proof certification. The algorithm,
RKHS resolvent, population two-update mechanism, general statistical stopping
motivation and Slutsky inference remain credited antecedents or standard tools.
Fixed-density/predetermined-query asymptotic coverage is separate from
unrestricted-class finite-sample honesty. The paper does not claim finite-n
calibration, selected-query inference or wall-clock speed improvements.

No manuscript or prior evidence file was edited by this binding review.
No public upload, release permission or publication is implied.
