What AI did
ChatGPT 5.5 Pro + Danus
The main result was obtained with ChatGPT 5.5 Pro and the Danus system, an agent built on Rethlas; human verification and polishing came afterwards. The authors caution that AI limitations mean related literature may have been missed.
No independent check. The authors verified and polished the AI-produced argument themselves and explicitly flag that relevant references may have been missed. Preprint, not refereed.
