Editorial contribution type: Theory & formal analysis (primary).
Layout extraction, not a required paper template. Counts are distinct caption labels; a multi-panel figure counts once. Section spans are estimated from heading positions, including floats and whitespace. Method and limitations.

Extraction notes: No attached appendix boundary detected. Zero means no recognized caption, not independently verified absence.
Source-bound correction: All top-level main headings and the reference boundary checked against source PDF text; source-bound positions use physical single-column y/page-height, not a two-column reading-order surrogate. Running page-number/author titles, affiliations, numbered contribution bullets, footnotes and bibliography continuations are excluded. This linked manuscript contains no appended supplementary section; separate supplement links were not scanned.
Section-by-section lengths and source pages
The title/abstract/front matter precede the first numbered heading. A span ends at the next detected top-level heading, not at the last sentence; end-page whitespace is included. References and statements are listed separately. These are not measurements of text-only or artwork area.

Argument and organization
- 1 Introduction and 2 Related Work
Recasts phase retrieval around the practical difficulty of maintaining an external reference, then promises an analytical self-reference construction rather than an unspecified accuracy gain.
- 3 Self Interference and Phase Propagation; 4 Provable and Optimal Sensing with Co-Prime Shifts
Builds from one shift to two shifts and general multi-path propagation before formal connectivity and optimality statements; hardware evaluation follows the mathematical design.
- 5 Experiments; 6 Conclusion
The comparison table crosses phase-profile type with measurement count and reports mean plus standard deviation at a stated noise level; it does not suppress second-place results.
Problem, claim and contribution
Recasts phase retrieval around the practical difficulty of maintaining an external reference, then promises an analytical self-reference construction rather than an unspecified accuracy gain.
Abstract and Section 1, pp.1–3 · Main paper
Argument and section order
Builds from one shift to two shifts and general multi-path propagation before formal connectivity and optimality statements; hardware evaluation follows the mathematical design.
Sections 3–5, pp.5–14 · Main paper
Figures, captions and visual explanation
The side-by-side graph example labels individual phases, edge phasors and hop counts, making the error-accumulation argument inspectable before the theorem.
Figure 2, p.7 · Main paper
Tables, comparisons and evidence
The comparison table crosses phase-profile type with measurement count and reports mean plus standard deviation at a stated noise level; it does not suppress second-place results.
Table 1 and evaluation protocol, p.12 · Main paper
Appendix and reproducibility
Main-text pointers separately assign implementation, proofs, simulation details and optical hardware details to supplementary material. This scan inspected those pointers, not the unavailable supplement.
Sections 3.4, 4.1 and 5, pp.8,10,12,14 · Main paper
Clarity and writing conventions
The introduction explicitly defines non-iterative as one propagation pass, avoiding confusion with the separately reported least-squares refinement.

What to reuse—and what not to infer
Transferable lesson: Use a small worked graph, an implementable algorithm and assumptions next to the guarantee; test the predicted failure variable rather than only aggregate accuracy.
Boundary: Co-prime connectivity and the optimality statement have explicit graph assumptions. Hardware robustness is not a guarantee for arbitrary motion or noise.
Apply this lesson using the argument and evidence worksheet.
