The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

For a fixed particle weight fraction, we find a sudden transition from strong shear thickening (in water and ethylene glycol) to shear thinning (in propanediol and butanediol).

C2weakest assumption

That the observed rheological transition is caused primarily by changes in hydrogen-bonding propensity rather than confounding solvent properties such as viscosity, dielectric constant, or steric effects.

C3one line summary

Solvent molecular size controls shear thickening and jamming in cornstarch suspensions by modulating hydrogen-bridging friction between particles.
