The Sequential Edge: sequential > parallel in 95.6% of configurations.
This row is in the register to demonstrate that the register is honest. Sharma and Chopra published their quantified sequential-versus-parallel result in November 2025, roughly two and a half months before the programme's own formalisation. Priority on the quantified finding belongs to them, is credited to them and appears in this register under a class that says so. The December 2024 manuscript carried the directional thesis only. A register that only listed favourable rows would be marketing. This row is the audit trail proving it is not.
Their paper is arXiv:2511.02309. The programme's validation contract for this claim records the deference explicitly.
Open the primary source above. Confirm the date. Confirm the finding. Then compare it against the manuscript passage or artifact named in the register entry, whose SHA-256 hash is published on the evidence page. Nothing in this article asks for trust; the entry either survives that comparison or it comes off the register, publicly, the way the programme's retracted scaling figure did.
