> Reordering a set of mathematical rules without changing its meaning should preserve the correct answer, but must a model's internal representations stay invariant too? We

## Review question

Check the benchmark version, sampling budget, data contamination controls, human interventions and proof-review method. A final answer or benchmark score is not evidence that every reasoning step is valid.

No independent proof check or claim of peer review.
