Limits RegistryPUBLIC RECORD
Limits RegistryJinping-I is a double-curvature concrete arch dam built in a narrow, deep gorge, chosen specifically because such sites allow arch dams to transfer enormous hydrostatic loads into the surrounding rock. Its associated hydropower station has an installed capacity of 3,600 MW; the dam also created a reservoir requiring the resettlement of tens of thousands of people.

Current frontiers derived from accepted Claims.
An observed or demonstrated result; no opposing bound is implied.
The frontier is not sacred
Most progress starts with a disagreement that survives contact with evidence. If you can push the known lower bound up or pull the upper bound down, show us the work.
≥ when you have shown that at least this value is achievable.≤ when you have shown that anything above this value is impossible.No vibes. State the value, define the scope, and link the paper, proof, code, or reproduction that lets another person check it. Editors review every challenge before the public record changes.
