The compiled record

The paper's own sentences, arranged. Each label is drawn from a closed vocabulary; the number beside it is the probability the classifier gave that label. Numbers in the tables are the authors', checked by code. No sentence in this record was written by a model.

The abstract, sentence by sentence

arXiv listing abstract v3. Results and the main claim are underlined; .

We derive a Khinchine-Pollaczek formula for random walks whose steps have a geometric left tail. The construction rests on the memory-less property of the geometric distribution. An example from a tandem queue modeling dynamic instability in microtubules is given.
