  "technical_statement": "The late-time observational identification requires the regulated non-vacuum trace average to vanish on the asymptotic branch.",
  "public_statement": "The observed late-time value is identified with the compact response on a future asymptotic branch whose regulated non-vacuum trace average vanishes.",
