Jean-Pierre Serre's FAC: French transcription, English translation, and an accidental blind comparison

Jean-Pierre Serre's FAC: readers, sources, and blind comparison This record is the single FAC publication line. It contains a complete French diplomatic working transcription, a separately corrected French reader, a complete English reader with source-local and cross-unit reference navigation, editable TeX/source layers, and the full evidence for an accidentally blind translation comparison. The project coordinator did not know that the published English translation by Piotr Achinger and Łukasz Krupa existed when an independent English translation was produced from the French working transcription and checked against Serre's source. The comparator was discovered afterward. The blind-scope English through no. 79 was then frozen and all 79 units were adjudicated against the French authority, producing 138 exact findings and an append-only self-correction ledger. Nos. 80–81 are outside the blind claim. Start with 00_FAC_Blind_Comparison_Readable_Report.pdf. It presents the chronology, worked examples, evidence, limitations, and audit procedure. The complete ZIP is the coherent transport; separate French and English readers, TeX, graphs, logbooks, decision records, correction/reversal history, validators, and source identities remain directly downloadable. The English reference-v2 surface contains 661 targets and 1,972 adjudicated candidates: 596 active edges and 1,376 intentional residuals. This is a working transcription/translation and a bounded qualitative comparison—not a scalar score, general benchmark, critical edition, peer review, or mathematical certification. Important passages should still be checked against Serre's French source. The authority scan and the Achinger–Krupa PDF/source are identified but not redistributed. GAGA is maintained separately under concept DOI 10.5281/zenodo.21781322. The redundant FAC assessment concept 10.5281/zenodo.21779392 remains tombstoned as a duplicate; this record is the surviving FAC concept.
