![The study demonstrates that bounds on [latex]\kappa_{1,N}(s)[/latex] - as detailed in Proposition 2 and applicable specifically to horizon length <i>N</i> - are refined by incorporating the term [latex]F_{N}(1+s)^{2}[/latex] to encompass all horizon lengths, with the lower envelope of these refined bounds - represented as a solid black line - providing a conservative estimate [latex]\kappa_{1}[/latex] as established in Proposition 3, for parameters γ=1, L=1.1, and B=10.](https://arxiv.org/html/2604.08521v1/CDC_visualisation.png)

Sadly, it looks like those very themes are now why it’s been taken off the Google Play Store, which is a real bummer.
