Propositions 5–8 and Corollary 9 give structural characterizations of manipulability, not a computational result under the stated criterion. The proposed continuous cohort model would pose a new question, but it cannot provide the missing computational anchor for this paper.
fails bit a — no named computational result to mirror
The mirror cases concern Propositions 5–8 and Corollary 9, which characterize when ϕ_M is manipulable under different predonation directions; none asserts an algorithmic or complexity result.
I can’t make a qualifying positive case under the anchor rule. Propositions 5–8 characterize exactly which consumption rules permit each kind of predonation manipulation; Corollary 9 identifies the unique rule under which no such manipulation is possible. Those are structural characterizations, not results about a problem being tractable, hard, or parameterized. Theorem 2 and Theorem 3 are cited matching results from earlier work, not computational results established by this paper.
A continuum matching model could assign mass to types defined by side, endowment, and preferences, then describe matches as flows between types. But translating this paper’s manipulation into that setting raises a central change: a single agent’s predonation has zero mass, so the manipulation may need to involve a positive-mass cohort. That changes the paper’s question, and none of its named results anchors the resulting continuous problem. I therefore have no continuous problem per qualifying anchor to hand to a prover. The paper’s matching and manipulation questions may have continuous analogues, but this paper does not provide the computational result needed to make an honest ChoCo case for one.
The strongest negative case is that this paper supplies no computational result for ChoCo to mirror. Propositions 5–8 characterize which consumption rules permit predonation manipulation, and Corollary 9 identifies the only rule that prevents it altogether. Those are structural results over arbitrary consumption functions; they do not define an algorithmic problem with a finite input encoding or analyze its complexity. The cited Theorems 2 and 3 concern strategy and matching outcomes, not computational complexity. So the proponent raises no qualifying anchor.
The best rescue is a market with repeated worker and employer types, represented by masses and a flow of matches, and a question about whether a positive-mass cohort can improve its outcome by predonating endowment. That could be a sensible model. But it changes the paper’s individual deviation into a cohort action. In the paper, preferences rank named potential mates; a type-level model must either preserve those identities, undermining the fixed finite type space, or define preferences over mate types and thereby change the matching problem. More fundamentally, even if that model is worthwhile, its computational questions would need to be formulated independently: the paper gives no complexity result for them to mirror.
That supports a negative verdict on this paper as a ChoCo computational mirror. It does not establish the universal claim that no scenario could make a continuous matching-and-manipulation problem worthwhile; a cohort model might. The honest limit of the case is that such a model would be new work motivated by the paper, rather than a computational mirror of one of its 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.
