ids list of object

This record's own identities: the outside addresses that say which real thing this record is (arXiv id, DOI, ORCID, Apple episode, homepage). Each address belongs to exactly one record in the whole store; a second record holding it means the two are one thing and must be merged. Order is meaningful: the first provider identity of a Media record is its preferred recording.

no description declared

required

url string matching /^https?:\/\/.+$/

Canonical URL whose shape must match the selected source. HTTPS is required except for a homepage or canonical-url whose description records the failed HTTPS attempt with HTTPS-FAILED: followed by the observed failure; HTTP homepages render as plain links, never fetched or embedded.

path string matching /^\/.+$/

Absolute path into a $-prefixed skill source's owned store; omitted when the location derives from another identity on this record.

metadata object OR object OR object OR object OR object OR object OR object OR object OR object OR object OR object OR object OR object

An artifact pointer's provider comes from its source's registry entry unless metadata.provider names a saved-copy owner: site-warc on canonical-url or doi, or query-lesswrong on a canonical-url or related-url forum post. New saved-copy pointers state their owner explicitly; historical canonical-url captures may omit it.

form 1 object OR object

Provider-backed arXiv absence or artifact result.

required

form 1 object

Provider-backed absence of an arXiv preprint for this Paper.

required

unavailable exactly "preprint"

What the provider could not supply and the only discriminator of this metadata arm, such as pdf; a provider-specific marker key in its place is banned.

required

reason one of: arxiv-search-miss

The provider-typed cause of that absence drawn from this subject's closed vocabulary, such as closed; free text or a cause invented at the call site is banned.

required

recheck string matching /^(snapshot-v\d+|final)$/

Where this absence sits in the recheck cycle: the arXiv search snapshot that last looked, such as snapshot-v298, or final once the paper is over 18 months old and is never re-checked; any other value is banned.

required

form 2 object

Pointer to a query-arxiv-owned PDF artifact, validated when it was saved.

required

artifactPath non-empty string

Absolute path into that provider's own artifact store, such as <provider-store>/papers/<id>.pdf; a relative path or a record-local copy is banned.

required

form 2 object OR object

Provider-backed DOI acquisition result.

required

form 1 object

Provider-backed absence of usable PDF bytes for a DOI Paper, whether no source was recorded, the selected host refused them, or every open-access source failed and the mirror fallback refused (mirror-refused).

required

unavailable exactly "pdf"

What the provider could not supply and the only discriminator of this metadata arm, such as pdf; a provider-specific marker key in its place is banned.

required

reason one of: closed | no-direct-pdf | doi-not-found | pdf-host-http-403 | mirror-refused

The provider-typed cause of that absence drawn from this subject's closed vocabulary, such as closed; free text or a cause invented at the call site is banned.

required

form 2 object

Pointer to the validated full text proving a DOI Paper: a query-unpaywall PDF, or a site-warc capture of the publisher's own page when provider is site-warc.

required

artifactPath non-empty string

Absolute path into that provider's own artifact store, such as <provider-store>/papers/<id>.pdf; a relative path or a record-local copy is banned.

required

provider exactly "site-warc"

Set only when the publisher serves no PDF anywhere (Distill is the case): the pointer then names a site-warc capture of the publisher's own article page instead of a query-unpaywall PDF, accepted only after every PDF route failed. Absent means the ordinary query-unpaywall PDF proof.

form 3 object

Pointer to a query-openreview-owned PDF artifact, validated when it was saved.

required

artifactPath non-empty string

Absolute path into that provider's own artifact store, such as <provider-store>/papers/<id>.pdf; a relative path or a record-local copy is banned.

required

form 4 object

Provider-backed absence needed to keep an affiliation-less Person visibly blocked.

required

unavailable exactly "institution"

What the provider could not supply and the only discriminator of this metadata arm, such as pdf; a provider-specific marker key in its place is banned.

required

reason one of: openalex-institution-absent

The provider-typed cause of that absence drawn from this subject's closed vocabulary, such as closed; free text or a cause invented at the call site is banned.

required

form 5 object

OpenAlex-reported citation count for this paper.

required

citedByCount integer >= 0

OpenAlex citation count observed when this surface was last read; counts differ by index, so it is never copied onto another source's row.

required

form 6 object

Semantic Scholar-reported citation count for this paper.

required

citedByCount integer >= 0

Semantic Scholar citation count observed when this surface was last read; counts differ by index, so it is never copied onto another source's row.

required

form 7 object

no description declared

required

finished exactly true

Apple Podcasts has counted at least one full play of this episode, read from the user's library at the row's checkedOn. Written only as true: a play count above zero never goes back down, so absent means not finished as far as anyone has looked. This flag records completion, not its date; live play counts and playheads stay in Apple's library.

lastPlayedAt string matching /^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}T\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}(?:\.\d+)?Z$/

Apple Podcasts' last-played time for this episode, as a UTC ISO-8601 instant from the user's library. Written by the listening pass alongside finished when Apple supplies it, including for an episode already marked finished. A missing provider date leaves the stored value unchanged. This is the last play, not the time the episode was first completed; the Media page shows it as Last played.

form 8 object

no description declared

required

artifactPath non-empty string

Absolute path into that provider's own artifact store, such as <provider-store>/papers/<id>.pdf; a relative path or a record-local copy is banned.

required

provider one of: site-warc | query-lesswrong

Owner of the saved copy. query-lesswrong is permitted only for a LessWrong, Alignment Forum or EA Forum post and holds the full post followed by every API comment. site-warc, or an omitted provider on a historical row, names the retained page capture. A new save never overwrites historical evidence.

form 9 object

no description declared

required

artifactPath non-empty string

Absolute path into that provider's own artifact store, such as <provider-store>/papers/<id>.pdf; a relative path or a record-local copy is banned.

required

provider exactly "query-lesswrong"

The saved-copy owner for this LessWrong, Alignment Forum or EA Forum post. The pointer includes the complete post and comment thread and never changes the Paper's canonical full text.

required

form 10 object

no description declared

required

artifactPath non-empty string

Absolute path into that provider's own artifact store, such as <provider-store>/papers/<id>.pdf; a relative path or a record-local copy is banned.

required

provider exactly "site-warc"

no description declared

required

form 11 object

conf-talks session identity for one Media document.

required

sessionId non-empty string

Stable conf-talks session identity defined by the provider skill.

required

checkedOn string matching /^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}T\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}(?:\.\d+)?Z$/

When this surface was last read AND adjudicated as this record's own, as a UTC ISO-8601 instant; paired with a leading VERIFIED: in the description and never stamped by an auto-attach - except on a citation-count row (openalex-work, semanticscholar-paper), where it is when the provider reported the count and carries no VERIFIED: stamp, and on an apple-podcasts-episode row carrying finished: true, where it is when the user's Apple library was read and likewise carries no VERIFIED: stamp.

description non-empty string

What the surface supplied or a caveat specific to it.

state one of: stub | hydrated | enhanced | highlighted

Derived state; each level includes every requirement of the levels below it: stub for a mechanical import, hydrated when its Paper carries an arXiv or DOI identity, enhanced when that Paper has validated full text, and highlighted when enhanced holds and the record carries the user's highlight or an internal Person reproducer.

required

enhanced object

User-curated Reproduction fields.

highlight string matching /^.{1,140}$/

The user's one-line reason this reproduction matters, capped at 140 characters and written only from the user's words.

refs object

Every relationship between this record and another record, grouped by the other record's type. Each entry is one relationship row: a `url` naming the other record, plus only the facts that belong to that pairing, the way a link table in a database holds them. A `url` is the other record's w.sh page, or, when no such record exists yet, an outside address an agent could turn into one if asked (a Hugging Face profile for a Person, an Apple show page for a show). An outside address an existing record already holds in its `ids` is refused; use that record's w.sh page. A `name` on an entry is the name as credited here, kept even when the other record spells it differently. Links inside written text and the evidence inside saved check rulings are not relationships and stay where they are.

required

paper non-empty list of object

The Paper this Reproduction judges, as its page URL `https://w.sh/paper/<slug>`. The Paper's ClaimSet has the same slug, so the claim ids each verdict row cites resolve through the Paper; the record stores no separate ClaimSet reference.

required

url reference to paper → paper

The linked record's page as an absolute URL, https://w.sh/<route>/<slug>, with no query and no trailing slash; a Media venue edition uses edition. Store a link only on the side whose own source states it and whose list is fixed once written; the other page computes the reverse, so never add a field that stores it.

required

call list of object

The challenge this Reproduction was entered in, as its Call page `https://w.sh/call/<slug>`; absent for a Reproduction from no challenge. The Call page lists its Reproductions by reading this field, and a Paper's challenge membership is worked out through its Reproductions, never stored on the Paper.

url reference to call → call

required

person non-empty list of object

Who ran the reproduction: exactly one entry with role: reproducer. Its url is a Person page https://w.sh/person/<slug> for an internal reproducer, or else the absolute URL of their public profile, which is its complete identity (the display label and slug suffix come from its username). No kind, name, platform id, or fleet flag is stored; fleet status comes from the resolved Person record.

required

url reference to person → person

Public profile URL that is the complete identity of an external reproducer.

required

role exactly "reproducer"

no description declared

required

verdicts non-empty list of object

Attempt-quality and result facts keyed to stable ClaimSet claim ids.

required

claim non-empty string

ClaimSet-local claim id judged by this row.

required

evidence object

Evidence supporting the attempt quality and result.

required

summary string

What the cited evidence actually shows about this claim.

required

boundary non-empty string

Audit note preserving an important limitation or prior adjudication boundary.

attempt one of: full | toy | invalid | not_attempted

A full-quality attempt capable of deciding the claim. A reduced attempt with a discernible verified or falsified lean. An attempted but unusable test, including a toy run with no discernible lean. No run was executed for this claim.

required

result one of: verified | falsified

Whether the attempt verified or falsified the claim. Whether the toy attempt leaned verified or falsified. Forbidden because an invalid attempt has no result. Forbidden because no run was executed.

overall non-empty string

The independent judge's per-logbook overall assessment, stating exactly what the evidence established and where it stopped.

required

2state: hydrated

3verdicts:

4 - claim: c1

5 attempt: toy

6 result: verified

7 evidence:

8 summary: The logbook tests only the quantum amplitude estimation subroutine in isolation on a Bernoulli(p) mean-estimation task (slope -0.981 vs theory -1.0), not the full QuantumBoost algorithm's runtime. This verifies one ingredient of the speedup mechanism on a proxy task, not the overall runtime Õ(W/(√ϵ·γ⁴)).

9 - claim: c2

10 attempt: toy

11 result: verified

12 evidence:

13 summary: The generalization bound is tested using classical AdaBoost (not QuantumBoost) on synthetic realizable Gaussian data with small dimensions (d∈{2,5,10}) and only two ε values. This verifies a standard PAC/VC-dimension sample complexity form on a simplified proxy, not QuantumBoost's actual generalization guarantee.

14 - claim: c3

15 attempt: toy

16 result: falsified

17 evidence:

18 summary: The iteration count is tested with an idealized edge-gamma weak-learner oracle (exact 2γ edge by construction) on a 5×5 grid. While the γ-exponent matches well (~2.05), the log(1/ε) exponent is substantially off (1.82 vs 1.0), and the setup uses a synthetic oracle rather than a real weak learner.

19 - claim: c4

20 attempt: invalid

21 evidence:

22 summary: 'The check is purely algebraic: evaluating closed-form Big-O formulas across a parameter grid and confirming one expression is numerically smaller than another. This is trivially true by inspection of the exponents (e.g., √ϵ < ϵ^2.5 for small ϵ) and does not constitute experimental evidence or verify the underlying runtime analyses.'

23 - claim: c5

24 attempt: invalid

25 evidence:

26 summary: The core novelty claim ('first to combine lazy Bregman projection with quantum mean estimation for boosting') is a literature claim the logbook explicitly acknowledges it cannot test. The proxy test (K=1/γ is load-bearing) uses a toy setup with a modeled edge-degradation weak learner and does not address the novelty assertion.

27overall: The logbook provides toy-level numerical evidence for Claims 1–3 by testing simplified components (amplitude estimation microbenchmark, classical AdaBoost on synthetic data, simulated boosting with idealized oracle) and no meaningful evidence for Claims 4–5 (algebraic formula checks and an untestable novelty claim). No claim is verified at the full algorithm or non-trivial scale.
