Theorem 8.1 is an equilibrium-existence and welfare result, not a computational result, and the other named results cited by the proponent have the same limitation. The paper already assumes a nonatomic population, so there is no discrete-population result here to mirror.
fails bit a — no named computational result to mirror
No result is mirrored; Theorem 8.1 was the sole candidate, while the paper's other equilibrium, welfare, and random-matching results remain unmirrored.
The strongest positive observation is that the paper treats a nonatomic continuum of agents as its starting point. A plausible high-multiplicity regime would be a large labor or contracting market where many agents share the same endowments, feasible memberships, skills, and preferences. The type would be that complete description, and mass would be the fraction of the population with it. That is a sensible continuous population—but it is already the paper’s model.
I can’t identify a qualifying computational anchor. The nearest candidate is Theorem 8.1, proved here: if willingness to pay for strategies is bounded, the penalties induce honest reporting and target strategies, and every deterministic feasible state that is undominated among deterministic states is Pareto optimal overall, then the residual-claimant economy has a Pareto-optimal equilibrium. That is an equilibrium-existence and welfare result, not a result about computing a solution or its complexity. The paper’s other named results, including Theorems 6.1 and 6.3 on equilibrium existence and Theorem 7.1 on constrained efficiency, have the same limitation.
So I can’t honestly write a continuous computational problem *per anchor* or predict whether an anchor’s hardness transfers. “Compute an equilibrium” could be a worthwhile new computational project, but it would be a new question rather than a mirror of a named computational result in this paper. The weak point is decisive for this assignment: the population is already continuous, while the paper supplies no named computational result to mirror.
Theorem 8.1 is the closest thing to an anchor, but it proves existence and Pareto optimality under stated conditions. It gives no complexity claim, algorithm, or computational problem. Theorem 6.1 and Theorem 6.3 are existence results; Theorem 7.1 is a welfare result. None supplies a computational result to mirror.
The stronger version would be to restrict the economy to finitely many complete agent types with rational masses and ask for an algorithm to construct an efficient equilibrium, or decide whether one exists. That could be a worthwhile computational economics project. But it would add a computational question to an already continuous model; it would not be a continuous mirror of a result in this paper. The paper already starts with a nonatomic population and random matching. Recasting its agents as masses of types would largely restate that population model, while adding a finite encoding would impose a new regime the paper does not analyze.
So the negative case is strong on the assignment’s central test: none of the proponent’s candidate results survives as an anchor, and there is no named computational result here to continuize. It is weaker as the universal claim that no related computational project could be worthwhile. The paper’s model may motivate one; the material provided does not make it a mirror of this paper’s results.
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.
