The passage around this formula

…eight points — exactly where the long-range bound says a finite-velocity linear cone is not guaranteed and faster-than-linear growth is required instead, and the propagation outright violates the nearest-neighbour bound vLRv_{\mathrm{LR}} = 12eJmax⁡J_{\max} once α\alpha drops below 1 [ 4 ] . Read against a naive short-range picture, the ion chain is unambiguously non-local. The second verdict tempers the first: the three competing long-range thresholds theory offers — a worst-case bound, a typical-state bound, and a…
