Theorem dependency and correction alerts

Edition: 8 October 2026. Initial decision: Prototype now. The product interpretation and pricing are hypotheses; independent proof and buyer validation remain open.

Research finding

The 7 October history records a sign error that invalidated one manuscript and two dependent papers. Other corrections changed hypotheses and companion citations. The release preserves prior versions, enabling a concrete regression fixture for dependency tracking.

Problem and buyer

Research teams and engineering teams adopting new algorithms need to know whether a correction invalidates a result they rely on. A changed PDF filename or bibliographic citation does not explain the affected assumptions or downstream implementation.

What the finding could enable

A monitored dependency graph can show the path from a changed lemma to a manuscript claim and then to a software component or experiment. It enables scoped review tasks and correction alerts tied to actual use rather than a generic news feed.

Technical and commercial limits

A citation is not always a logical dependency. Automated extraction must label inferred edges and allow human confirmation. The actual three withdrawn manuscripts require explicit withdrawal fixtures; family membership alone must not imply invalidity of unrelated papers.

Minimal architecture

Revision watcher -> citation and theorem-link parser -> dependency graph -> change classification -> affected-component report. Store graph edges with evidence spans, revision hashes and reviewed status. Keep historical snapshots instead of replacing the source record.

Existing alternatives and differentiation

Crossmark already distributes correction and retraction metadata. The proposed differentiation is theorem-level impact across Git repositories and software usage; bibliographic status alerts by themselves are weak differentiation.

Monetization hypothesis

Hypothesis: AUD 200-1,000 monthly for a research team and AUD 5,000-20,000 annually for an institutional integration. Buyers and budgets remain unvalidated. An audit service around one dependency-heavy project is the narrow entry point.

Validation experiment

Use the repository's withdrawal history as a retrospective fixture. Recover the three stated withdrawals and their stated dependency relation without flagging every paper in the same field. Have a mathematician review ambiguous edges.

Conditions to reject or defer

Reject a general subscription if alerts are too noisy, logical edges cannot be reviewed economically, or free correction metadata meets the user's needs.

Next concrete action

Extract the withdrawn manuscript notices and their archived-version links, then build an explicit three-paper fixture and a dependency impact report.

Source evidence

Repository sources are pinned to revision fd4aeeb2ee4fc729c18d98444fed42fd0529eeeb. Selected scope notes and manuscript statements have been reviewed to the extent described above; these links do not represent successful kernel checks.
