Review

Decision: accept

Accepted.

## Remarks

- Requirement 9, §2.2: Equation (1) uses “c_b” without defining the symbol.  Identify it as the branch’s final mutable classical state before the equation.

- Requirement 9, §7: “The selected sign words are 01111 and 10000” specifies the order of the bits but leaves their meaning implicit.  Define the signed update associated with each bit.  The phrase “equal low five output bits” also needs to identify the output quantity or register whose bits the collision concerns.

- Requirement 12, “Throat-clearing and announcements”: “The evidence has three forms” (§1), “Table 1 associates each numerical result with its verification record” (§4), and “Table 2 states the role of each collection” (§5) announce the material that follows.  Remove these sentences, preserving the citation attached to the last one.

- Requirement 12, “Redundancy”: “This describes their program interface” (§4) repeats the function of the preceding sentence without adding information.  Delete it and give the next sentence an explicit subject.

- Requirement 12, “Terminology”: “The program’s operation definitions retained their input definitions” (§8) leaves “input definitions” ambiguous.  State which definitions remained unchanged during the resource-count repair and identify the comparison baseline.
