Statement

Wentworth's approximate natural-latent theorem holds with coefficient 1 on the third error term.

Source

projects/deference/faf-cleanroom-2026-10-02/DIGEST.md, §6 item 20: "Wentworth's approximate theorem with coefficient 1 on ε₃ (the 2ε₃ bound is proved; the constant is tight at the xor instance), so either a sharper chain-rule route or a non-xor refutation settles the quantitative form." projects/deference/faf-cleanroom-2026-10-02/packages/info-voi-latents/info-voi-latents-audit-r3-fidelity.md, line 53: the xor instance shows the conjectured constant is tight if true.

Notes

An open statement of the clean room. On the reading of 'tight': the xor instance shows the coefficient cannot be lowered below 1, not that 1 fails.
