What a summariser drew, one picture at a time.
Google’s NotebookLM draws an infographic from whatever sources it is handed. A picture holds a dozen claims at most, so each one shows what survives the squeeze: the claims it drew right are the sentences our sources carry clearly, and the claims it drew wrong are the sentences that still compress badly.

The errors repeat, and the classes match the briefs. A picture that draws a wall around the agent read a source naming a boundary with no record behind it. A picture that draws a kill switch read a source where the tape stood next to a stop button; the tape shows where the work landed, and you can wire up your own brake. Each class points back at a sentence to fix, and the next picture drawn from the fixed sources is the check.

❌ Calling the chip's verdict “deterministic” in three separate spots, and the pass “byte-identical,” reaches past what our sources claim about the walk — re-runnable from the commit, same bytes to the same hash — since “deterministic” is kept for naming the chaos in the agent loop, never the reading of it.
✅ The receipt-versus-opinion distinction lands correctly — a judge's pass is a non-recomputable opinion, and a stranger has to be able to re-run the math on their own laptop for the claim to count as a financial fact.

🛡️ AIRTIGHT BY DESIGN: THE V20 HARDWARE SPECIFICATION AUDIT
#ea759a89 · 🟡 86% we would sign · 7 claims · 1 errata · Architecture / S=P=H / Mechanism
❌ The stride-polynomial line turns a trajectory tracker into a claim that it stops recursive drift from happening — the tracking is real, “prevent” is the behavior claim our rule rules out.
✅ The three-tier logic classification (XOR, FSM, ALU/FPU) and the exclusion of Tier 3 from verification, both correct.
Errata, line by line (1)
- “The system tracks the specific trajectory through memory to prevent
recursive drift.”The system tracks the trajectory through memory; whether drift recurs is read off that trajectory afterward, not blocked by the tracking itself.🔒 promises the agent stays inside a line · settled by CLAUDE.md NEVER GUARANTEE BEHAVIOR
“Tiered Logic Classification: hardware is divided into Tier 1 (XOR),

❌ Reaching for “tamper-proof” and “deterministically” to describe the same telemetry our sources call re-runnable and recomputed shows where a checkable claim gets traded for a stronger-sounding one; the market numbers beside it ($14B, $2B, 30–40% of infrastructure spend) carry no file behind them either.
✅ The “independent” legal standard gets borrowed correctly from Dodd-Frank and Sarbanes-Oxley, and the five-step software pipeline is read as sharing one failure domain with whatever it checks.

❌ 'Zero temporal gap for errors' and a '0ns vulnerability window' both take a real nanosecond-order latency number and round it to an absolute — our own method reports a median with a spread and prints NOT ADMISSIBLE when the band fails, it never claims a lone zero.
