Audit review

The paper asserts W(g,f,τ) ∼ O(e^{κ1 τ}) and even states that the entropy increases exponentially, but it replaces the spatial gradient by a time derivative (|∇f|^2 = (df/dτ)^2) and then integrates over R^3 with f depending only on τ, which makes the spherical integral ∫_0^∞ r^2(⋯)e^{-f(τ)}dr diverge unless additional spatial localization is imposed; moreover, Big-O is misinterpreted as an increasing trend. These issues are visible where the paper defines |∇f|^2 via df/dτ and converts to the radial integral over R^3, then concludes O(e^{κ1 τ}) and “entropy increases exponentially” for large τ . The model (candidate) supplies a rigorous upper bound W ≤ C e^{κ1 τ} by exploiting the super-exponential damping e^{-f(τ)} and explicitly adds a finite-support/normalized radial density assumption, which fixes the divergence, and clarifies sign conditions on c1 and κ1. However, it inherits the paper’s nonstandard identification |∇f|^2 = (df/dτ)^2 and does not reintroduce a proper spatial profile for f. Net: the paper’s argument is mathematically flawed/incomplete, and the model’s bound is correct only under extra assumptions and the same gradient simplification, so both are incomplete.

\textbf{Justification:}

Interesting idea, but the mathematical framework departs from the standard definition of Perelman's W by using a time derivative in place of the spatial gradient and by integrating over R\^3 with a time-only potential, which causes divergence unless one imposes unstated localization. The paper's asymptotic claim is stated as O(e\^{κ1 τ}) and interpreted as exponential increase, but this is not proved and, under natural sign assumptions on f, the e\^{-f(τ)} factor actually produces super-exponential damping. The model provides a defensible upper bound once extra assumptions (finite support/normalized radial density and sign conditions) are added, but it inherits the same nonstandard gradient identification. Substantial revisions are needed to restore correctness and clarity.
