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

the data support a picture in which the X-ray and optical emissions arise from closely related but not strictly co-spatial regions within a dynamically evolving, magnetically structured jet.

C2weakest assumption

The assumption that the observed polarization variability and EVPA rotation directly trace magnetic field configurations in the jet plasma rather than propagation effects or unrelated components.

C3one line summary

New IXPE X-ray polarimetry and optical monitoring of PG 1553+113 reveal variable polarization and a large EVPA swing, supporting jet models with related but non-co-spatial X-ray and optical emission regions.
