Claim	Exact scope	Evidence and limits
Boundary-kernel sandwich	Finite labelled Markov source; finite factor bound uniform over second block length	Full proof in manuscript Section 2; exact finite checks for orders 0, 2, 3, 4
All finite non-Shannon entropy-rate limits	Full-support initial law; log K_n = o(n)	Section 3 proof; no mixing assumption; noninteger numerical compiler not included
Error independent of Rényi order	Spectral proxy error log(s*K_n)/n	Algebraic cancellation in the proof, not a numerical extrapolation
Support-count/min-entropy endpoint limits	Same factor hypothesis	Section 3 proof; endpoint numerical optimizer not implemented
Shannon boundary estimator	Exactly stationary source	Section 4 proof; conditional mass sampling implemented
Continuity at order one	Irreducible stationary finite source with subexponential factor bound	Section 4 proof including periodic chains; not asserted for arbitrary ergodic processes
Stationary-mixture selection rule	Finite mixture of closed irreducible classes	Section 4 proof; exact illustrative discontinuity example
Scalar algebraic factor bound	Fixed real algebraic integer base, fixed own-field digits and bounded clocks	Section 5 proof; implemented only in three specified field families
Neutral-Jordan factor extension	Fixed nonsingular integer matrix; clock-tagged outputs	Section 5 proof; no generic matrix implementation
Exact integer-order replicas	Fixed integer q >= 2; supported field families	Correctness proof and finite independent endpoint checks; no support enumeration in production
Variable-clock collision semantics	Full output includes total clock and exact numerator	Synchronized unit-clock expansion; separate counters and terminal-clock equality tested
Fixed-geometry polynomial approximation	Fix base/matrix, finite digit and clock alphabets, and integer order	No uniform bound in arbitrary digit bit length, field degree or order; polynomial in inverse accuracy
Unit-clock grid dimensions	Own-field Pisot, Salem or integer base	Section 8 proof; information dimension is distinguished from a common pointwise dimension
Fair-Salem maximal entropy	Fair iid digits, including the quartic benchmark	NOT PROVED
Major breakthrough / world-first priority	Wider mathematical literature and significance	NOT ESTABLISHED
External or formal verification	Review by independent specialists or proof assistant	NOT PERFORMED
