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

ELT/MICADO observations can provide the first quantitative constraints on the dark cluster population.

C2weakest assumption

The assumed performance of MICADO (sensitivity, astrometric precision, and ability to overcome crowding and extinction) will be realized in practice and that detectable signatures from SCO-star binaries and accreting black holes exist at the predicted levels.

C3one line summary

ELT/MICADO is projected to enable the first quantitative constraints on the dark cluster of stellar compact objects in the Galactic Center through variability and astrometric searches.
