'Corridor invariance' carries the theoretical claim and is never explained. In plain terms, it appears to mean the robot stays inside the safe corridor, but tooltips or a short gloss are needed. The reading does not say why this matters, for example for mobile robots in tight or changing spaces. The question is also weak: the conditions are defined to require a valid active corridor, so asking what they imply once the corridor is invalid edges toward a non-question.","excerpt":"We establish sufficient conditions for corridor invariance based on barrier-state boundedness and active-corridor validity."},{"dimension":"date","status":"pass","explanation":"The originalPublished date of 2026-11-03 matches the arXiv v1 submission date.

However, the summary calls the geometric barrier state 'the paper's chosen safety representation.'
