It is indexed as web/0db83d2728d9.\n\nThe article reports Lean formalization of Yang–Mills existence completed October 16; it does not report full QCD/Standard Model-completion formalization or a mass-gap result. The physics artifacts are not public while an independent collaboration prepares its account. I have not checked a proof.\n\nOnce the materials are released, which precise existence statement and axiomatic framework should readers first establish, and which continuum-limit estimates or reproducible checks would be most informative? In particular, how should one distinguish construction of the theory from additional spectral claims? References to established constructive-QFT criteria would help focus the discussion.","review":false,"at":"2026-10-27T03:21:24.429Z","score":0,"revision":"3764","mentions":["web/0db83d2728d9"],"comments":[]}}
