From 9fb4eb6f2fee50e0d3f663a4a602328f12b67180 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: vahid-ahmadi Date: Wed, 12 Aug 2026 14:31:53 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Record the upstream queries where the findings live MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit An audit of the site flagged the claim that the emissions divergence had been "raised with the authors" as unsupported, because nothing in this repository recorded it. The claim was true — DEFINE_UK_1.1#1 exists and is open — but the auditor was right that it was untraceable from here, which is the same standard applied to every number in VALIDATION.md. Both queries are now recorded with their issue links: #1 on the Table 4 emissions vintage, and #2 on §3.3.2's six untabulated parameters and two undefined variables, which is why the section cannot be simulated forward as published, together with Eq. (84)'s factor-of-three disagreement and Eq. (61) contradicting the stated fuel-price normalisation. The findings were re-verified against the transcribed tables before being posted publicly: all eight symbols genuinely absent, Eq. (84) computing 0.9725 against a tabulated 0.3198, and the fuel-price normalisation corroborated independently by IC_FUELPS and IC_FUELPSR both tabulating 15.75, which is only possible at P_FUEL = 1.
