  "technical_statement": "The predicted central value differs from the Planck flat-LambdaCDM inference by approximately 0.4%; numerically this equals about 0.18 times the quoted observational standard deviation. The 0.18 figure is a comparison with the observational error bar only, not a combined theoretical significance, likelihood ratio or goodness-of-fit statistic, because the theoretical uncertainty of the construction has not been calculated.",
  "public_statement": "The strict-channel prediction and the Planck 2018 flat-LambdaCDM-inferred central value differ by about 0.4%.",
  "qualifier": "Calculated within selected channel",
  "source_in_paper": "CC Paper I v1.0, abstract, introduction and conclusion",
  "external_foundations": "Planck2018",
  "limits_open_issues": "Never express this as a sigma significance; structural theory effects are unquantified.",

  "version_history": "v1.2; v1.3 (2026-08-01): source citation updated to the paired-cap revision.; v1.4 (2026-08-03): restated per internal review: 0.18 defined as a multiple of the observational standard deviation, with the non-significance boundary explicit.; v1.4b (2026-08-04): comparison now inherits the curvature identification MAP-01 (which carries NUM-01, GS-02 and the late-time branch).; v1.6 (2026-08-08): GS-03 dependency received from MAP-01 (late-time branch belongs to the comparison); public wording names the flat-LambdaCDM inference, mirroring OBS-01",
