FORMAL / COMPUTING STRAND: EDITORIAL AND CROSS-STRAND REVIEW

A lexical neighbor screen against the complete baseline followed by individual review of candidate matches, all physical definition texts, and selected cross-strand scopes. It is not exhaustive semantic comparison of every possible pair or a full article audit.

500 proposed definitions; 4,414-record baseline. All 403 physical definition texts were inspected before the one reported duplicate was removed. Six selected physical-source cases were checked directly.

remaining-carbon-budget — duplicate-reported-and-removed
physical3-carbon-budget, checked/3064
The reviewed proposed definition duplicated the existing remaining carbon emissions budget, including date, warming target, probability and other-driver boundaries. Root removed the candidate and recorded reuse. No other author file was edited by this reviewer.

small-strain — supported-qualified-definition
physical3-small-strain, WP184011.P0001, WP184011.P0003, WP184011.P0004, WP184011.P0005, WP184011.P0006
Selected source units support displacement-gradient linearization and explicitly caution about large rotations. The definition preserves this stronger condition instead of equating small stretch with all small kinematic effects.

optical-aperture — supported-qualified-definition
physical3-numerical-aperture, WP41432.P0001, WP41432.P0003, WP41432.P0004
The retained equation and prose support surrounding index times sine of half-angle. The record does not confuse full cone angle with half-angle or restrict numerical aperture to below one.

equilibrium-and-model — supported-qualified-definitions
physical3-raoult, physical3-lever-rule, physical3-patched-conics
Source selections preserve the ideal-mixture condition, phase balance and modeled gravitational segments respectively. None is worded as a guarantee for all mixtures, phase kinetics or physical discontinuities at a sphere-of-influence boundary.

linear-network — related-not-duplicate
physical3-norton, physical3-thevenin, formal3-superposition, checked/3324
The physical records concern equivalent terminal networks. Linear superposition concerns response additivity/homogeneity. They relate through a linear model but provide different reusable meanings.

circuit-breakers — different-scopes
physical3-circuit-breaker, formal3-circuit-breaker
One interrupts an electrical circuit under abnormal conditions; the other suppresses calls to a failing software dependency. The software name explicitly states its domain. A metaphorical connection is not identity.

lattice-senses — different-scopes
physical3-bravais-lattice, formal3-order-lattice
A periodic spatial point array and a partial order with pairwise meets/joins are distinct mathematical structures despite the shared word lattice.

hazard-and-failure — different-scopes
formal3-hazard-function, checked/2871, checked/2868
Conditional instantaneous event rate differs from identifying safety hazards and from engineering reliability. No physical strand event-rate duplicate was identified.

market-and-information — different-scopes
human3-herfindahl-hirschman-index, human3-market-concentration, formal3-renyi-entropy, formal3-min-entropy
Market-share concentration and information uncertainty use related arithmetic but retain different domains and transformations. The information entries do not claim a competition-law meaning; the market index does not become an information entropy.

neural-and-formal — different-scopes
life3-metabolic-control-analysis, formal3-factor-analysis, formal3-canonical-correlation
Biochemical parameter control, latent covariance explanation and cross-set correlation are not interchangeable forms of generic analysis. Their high lexical resemblance in the screen is not evidence of duplication.

centrality-interpretation — necessary-limit-retained
formal3-pagerank, formal3-betweenness, formal3-eigenvector-centrality, formal3-network-modularity
The graph scores are separate definitions and explicitly avoid treating high scores as truth, authority, intrinsic semantic importance or statistical validation of communities.

statistical-specialization — related-not-duplicate
formal3-lasso, formal3-ridge-regression, formal3-elastic-net, checked/3436, checked/3496
These specify distinct penalties and estimation constructions. Existing regression and regularization do not themselves select those penalties.

program-semantic-specialization — related-not-duplicate
formal3-operational-semantics, formal3-denotational-semantics, formal3-axiomatic-semantics, checked/3263, checked/4165
Execution rules, mathematical denotations and assertion-transforming reasoning are separate methods; neither general model theory nor Kripke relational semantics substitutes for all three.

logic-near-names — distinct-oppositions
formal3-conjunctive-normal, formal3-disjunctive-normal, formal3-weak-duality, formal3-strong-duality, formal3-positive-definite, formal3-positive-semidefinite
Similar names encode material differences in connective structure, optimization bounds and matrix positivity. Merging them would discard those distinctions.

evidence-limits — explicitly-recorded
analysis/formal3-evidence-limits.json
Twenty-two source-selection or qualification findings record omitted formulas, broad article prose and scope corrections. This is a selected-passage review, not an independent proof of theorems or primary-literature certification.

No other author draft was modified by this reviewer.
No additional material finding remained open within the stated review scope.
This does not establish exhaustive uniqueness, primary-source validation or human approval.
