Label sentence at the locator (PDF p.80 (bytes of record)):

the 53 meV frequentist-constrained bound is model tension, not exclusion.

Statement

The suite’s frequentist-constrained neutrino-mass-sum bound is 53 meV; the ledger records the Feldman–Cousins upper limit rather than a measured central value.

Parts of the statement (2)

Each part is a clause of the statement above, cut so that one part makes one claim. A reader naming the clause a quote supports can name the part.

Sources in the suite of record

Key — use ≠ record. A review state printed on a source use below names that use — one citation of the suite, read by the lane named in its warrant — not this record. The record's own review state is the one in the table above and is unchanged by any use-level state; a use may be LANE_PROPOSED or REVIEWED while the record it sits on remains IN_REVIEW (R45, R49).

Quotes are verbatim from the sha-pinned text extraction of the Rev33.1 PDF (A1584 §2.2, S309): mathematical typography — radicals, exponents, ≅ — can appear displaced in the extracted line. The PDF page is authoritative; the quote is what the machine gate matched.

A certificate says the record is well-formed, current, quote-on-page, label-literal, edge-resolved and binding-consistent on the bytes it was issued on. It is not a review, and it goes STALE the moment the master moves under it (R68). It is one conjunct of the PUBLISHED condition (R67), never the whole of it.

Drafting-lane note

C2-183 is a distinct statistical bound from SL-04, not an independent central-value observation. The 95% level and eV presentation are ledger data; the suite calls this model tension, not exclusion. No symmetric error or significance is attached.
