In order to address the DC-Checking problem, in [Comin and Rizzi, TIME 2015] we introduced epsilon-DC (a refined, more realistic, notion of DC), and provided an algorithmic solution to it. The epsilon-DC notion is interesting per se, and the epsilon-DC-Checking algorithm in [Comin and Rizzi, TIME 2015] rests on the assumption that the reaction-time satisfies epsilon > 0; leaving unsolved the question of what happens when epsilon = 0. In this work, we introduce and study pi-DC, a sound notion of DC with an instantane"},"claims":{"count":0,"items":[],"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"source":{"id":"1608.04132","kind":"arxiv","version":4},"verdict":{"id":null,"model_set":{},"created_at":null,"strongest_claim":"","one_line_summary":"","pipeline_version":null,"weakest_assumption":"","pith_extraction_headline":""},"references":{"count":0,"sample":[],"resolved_work":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57","internal_anchors":0},"formal_canon":{"evidence_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"author_claims":{"count":0,"strong_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"builder_version":"pith-number-builder-2026-05-17-v1"}
