C-0036 Under review MODERATE certainty
Correcting C-0022, whose Type-IV wording X-0035 refuted. The provenance half stands: the three 2026 warp papers are one correlated source — same single author, arXiv preprints without journal DOIs, zero OpenAlex citations each, reproduced live with a positive control (S-0001 shows 45). The classification half was overstated. S-0003 does not certify the Van Den Broeck walls as having no rest frame above the transition; it certifies them as Type-IV DOMINATED, where the transition is defined as the wall's Type-I fraction crossing 50 percent at v_s about 0.36 (a value that lives in a source macro and is lost from the canonical text). The source's own table gives VdB Type I/IV wall fractions of 12.2/87.8 at v_s = 0.5, 18.3/81.7 at 1.0 and 25.6/74.4 at 2.0 — so 12 to 26 percent of the wall retains a rest frame above the transition, and the Type-IV fraction DECREASES with speed, the opposite of what a 'no rest frame' reading implies. The physical conclusion is unchanged in kind and weaker in degree: most of the wall carries stress-energy with no rest frame, at every speed examined, and that suffices for the energy-condition verdict C-0018 establishes by our own computation; it is not the whole wall. S-0005's 'warp without exotic matter' remains, in its own words, a causal subluminal reaction drive with steep but positive cost.
Standing our synthesis · interpretation · TRL 1 Assumes the three 2026 papers S-0003/S-0004/S-0005 as posted on arXiv; citation counts from OpenAlex, reproduced live 2026-08-10 with a positive control; wall Type I/IV fractions as tabulated by S-0003 itself; the v_s ~ 0.36 transition value read from the source macro, not the canonical text Stops applying any weight these findings would carry after independent peer review, which none has yet; and any reading of 'dominated' as 'entire' Note Supersedes C-0022 (RED via X-0035). Root cause worth keeping: the refuted wording inverted the clause order of the source sentence, which severed an ellipsis and turned 'Type-IV dominated' into an unqualified 'Type IV'. A qualifier dropped in restructuring reads as a stronger claim than the source makes — the same failure class the prose linter was built for.
