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 newly released code CLASS incorporates improved approximation schemes leading to a simultaneous gain in speed and precision.

C2weakest assumption

The approximations remain sufficiently accurate for the full range of scales, redshifts, and parameter values relevant to current and near-future CMB and LSS analyses without introducing uncontrolled errors.

C3one line summary

CLASS implements a tunable baryon-photon tight-coupling approximation, a new ultra-relativistic fluid approximation, and a radiation streaming approximation that accounts for reionization, yielding simultaneous gains in speed and precision.
