The paper states no numbered theorem, lemma, corollary, or proposition asserting a qualifying computational result. Definitions 1–13 and the empirical VAST comparisons do not meet that gate, so there is no result to anchor a continuous computational mirror.
fails bit a — no named computational result to mirror
No named computational result is covered; the empirical VAST findings and formal definitions are not qualifying anchors.
This paper has no named computational-complexity result to anchor a qualifying case. Its numbered items are Definitions 1–13; it states no Theorem, Lemma, Corollary, or Proposition asserting tractability, hardness, or a parameterized result. The reported findings are empirical benchmark comparisons, not named complexity results. So there are zero valid anchors and, under your criteria, no per-anchor prover questions to give.
There is a plausible population-level extension: let a voter type be a complete vote vector \(v:\mathrm{Ar}\to\{-1,0,1\}\), and let \(\mu_v\) be its fraction of a large deliberative community. For fixed \(F\), \(E_{\mathrm{true}}\), and \(\sigma\), one could replace vote counts in a COS such as \(CSS^{U,\Sigma}_\sigma\) with mass-weighted scores, then evaluate recovery of \(E_{\mathrm{true}}\). A platform with many participants but relatively few repeated vote patterns is a credible high-multiplicity regime. That is a reasonable extension of the paper’s evaluation task, but it is not anchored in a named computational result of the paper, so I would not present it as satisfying the requested case.
The case against starts with the strongest ground available: there is no named computational result here to mirror. Definitions 1–13 formalize the framework and its metrics; the paper states no theorem, lemma, or corollary about the complexity of a computational problem. Its main results are empirical comparisons on VAST. So there are no eligible anchors and no per-result continuous questions. This is a scope objection, not a claim about what a continuous version would find.
The proposed population model is credible. A deliberative community can have many people sharing the same complete vote vector \(v:\mathrm{Ar}\to\{-1,0,1\}\), and representing those shares by \(\mu_v\) is sensible high multiplicity. I would not reject it on the ground that voters are individuated. But the best version of that proposal—a mass-weighted VAST evaluation, perhaps mapping regions of the vote-distribution simplex where a COS recovers \(E_{\mathrm{true}}\)—extends the benchmark rather than mirrors a computational result in the paper. For rational \(\mu\), it is directly the histogram of a finite vote profile; CSS’s utilitarian scores, for example, become weighted sums. That fact supports the model, but it does not supply the missing complexity question.
One could invent a harder problem, such as asking whether a COS tracks truth for every vote distribution meeting a reliability bound. That would be a robust truth-tracking problem, with a new worst-case objective and new constraints on the benchmark. It may be worthwhile in its own right, but the paper neither formulates nor solves it. The negative case is therefore strong as a reason not to count this paper as an anchored ChoCo mirror. It is weaker as the universal claim that no useful continuous research could grow out of the paper: the authors’ central truth-tracking question admits a natural mass-based extension, even though this paper gives no computational-complexity result to anchor one.
The adversarial triple: the proponent anchors on up to three named results; the opponent sees that case and must defeat every anchor; the judge decides which case convinced it. These are the pipeline’s own outputs, generated by tools/triple_run.py — no human edited them. The paper’s own text is not reproduced here beyond the quoted statement above.
