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

Paired with the unprecedented capabilities of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), lensing now allows us to observe, detect, and study distant sources like never before.

C2weakest assumption

That JWST observations will deliver the expected magnification, resolution, and sensitivity gains for lensing studies without major unforeseen observational or modeling limitations.

C3one line summary

Strong gravitational lensing paired with JWST enables magnified high-resolution views of distant sources and improved constraints on dark matter.
