A.2 Confirmed Errors and Corrections

Error 1: C04 — Anderson Year

•	Original: Anderson, P.W. (1958). “Coherent Excited States in the Theory of Superconductivity.” Phys. Rev. 112(6), 1900–1916.
•	Problem: The 1958 paper is about impurity states in superconductors, not symmetry-breaking. The correct paper for symmetry-breaking is Anderson 1963.
•	Corrected: Anderson, P.W. (1963). “Plasmons, Gauge Invariance and Mass.” Phys. Rev. 130, 439.
•	DOI: 10.1103/PhysRev.130.439
•	Impact: LOW. The pattern (symmetry-breaking) is unchanged. Only the citation was wrong. The 1958 paper is still by Anderson and still important — just not for this node.

Error 2: C05 — Bak-Tang-Wiesenfeld Split

•	Original: Bak, P., Tang, C. & Wiesenfeld, K. (1987). “Self-Organized Criticality.” Phys. Rev. A, 38(1), 364–374. (single citation)
•	Problem: Two distinct papers exist. The 1987 paper (Phys. Rev. Lett. 59, 381) is the 2-page letter introducing SOC. The 1988 paper (Phys. Rev. A 38, 364) is the full exposition.
•	Corrected:
•	Bak, P., Tang, C. & Wiesenfeld, K. (1987). “Self-Organized Criticality: An Explanation of 1/f Noise.” Phys. Rev. Lett. 59(4), 381–384. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.59.381
•	Bak, P., Tang, C. & Wiesenfeld, K. (1988). “Self-Organized Criticality.” Phys. Rev. A 38(1), 364–374. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevA.38.364
•	Impact: LOW. The pattern is unchanged. The split provides more precise sourcing.

Error 3: C12 — Autopoiesis Year

•	Original: Maturana, H.R. & Varela, F.J. (1972). Autopoiesis and Cognition.
•	Problem: The 1972 date refers to an early Spanish-language precursor or preliminary work. The canonical, widely cited English edition is 1980.
•	Corrected: Maturana, H.R. & Varela, F.J. (1980). Autopoiesis and Cognition: The Realization of the Living. D. Reidel Publishing. ISBN 978-9027710161.
•	Impact: LOW. The pattern and authors are unchanged. The year correction aligns with standard citation practice.
