name: Mathematical notation has derivation support
description: >
  Any formula presented in mathematical notation (LaTeX, symbolic expressions)
  must be accompanied by either (a) a derivation, (b) a citation to a source
  containing the derivation, or (c) an explicit label as "proposed theoretical
  model, not yet empirically fitted." Specific numerical predictions derived from
  unfitted formulas must be removed or labeled "illustrative only." Two-decimal
  precision in estimates described as "order-of-magnitude" is false precision and
  must be rounded. Pass: notation level matches derivation level throughout.
  Fail: LaTeX formula used to make quantitative predictions without derivation or
  explicit hypothesis labeling.
