Energy streaming without a physical carrier exists and has been measured: quantum energy teleportation is real laboratory physics, not speculation. The corpus holds the first experimental observation of local activation of energy density on an entangled state (NMR, Rodriguez-Briones et al., PRL 2023) and a realization on IBM superconducting hardware requiring only local operations and classical communication (Ikeda 2023, preprint). What QET demonstrates in principle is precisely the CEO's mechanism — extracting energy at a distance using correlations rather than transport. What it does not provide is scale: demonstrated energies are single-quanta, device-scale, some 40 orders of magnitude below propulsion relevance, and no peer-reviewed path to macroscopic QET exists in the corpus. QET's live relevance to this programme is therefore not power delivery but exotic-state engineering — its connection to negative-energy-density states is the one place quantum streaming touches the theorems that gate everything else.

Read C-0032, its dependency C-0027, evidence E-0054/E-0055 (both EXACT-verified), and the full canonical fulltexts of S-0023 (30.3k chars) and S-0024 (28.0k chars). A3: compared claim text against the quoted spans plus surrounding context and found both realizations diverge from the claim's LOCC framing — S-0023 implemented a FULLY UNITARY protocol ("the classical information channel is replaced with a quantum channel", ancilla spin An in the same trans-crotonic molecule, A-B J-coupling 1.16 Hz vs A-An 72.27 Hz / B-An 69.68 Hz), and S-0024's hardware runs used deferred measurement ("We can postpone Alice's measurement until the end of the circuit... We use the right circuit" with controlled-U/anti-controlled-U gates), the genuine conditional-operation circuit running only on qasm_simulator. Tested whether this flips the claim: it does not, because the claim's own body supplies the correct mechanism ("extracting energy at a distance using correlations rather than transport"), its operative conclusion (no scale, relevance = exotic-state engineering not power delivery) matches the sources, the PRL itself claims "first realization of a quantum energy teleportation protocol", and S-0023's Supplemental S1 proves protocol equivalence. A1: fetched live arXiv pages — 2203.16269 shows "Phys. Rev. Lett. 130, 110801, March 2023" (claim's "PRL 2023" verified); 2301.02666 shows "Phys. Rev. Applied 20, 024051, 2023" (claim's "preprint" designation is stale, conservative-direction error). Searched for counter-literature; found Wang & Yao, Quantum 8, 1564 (2024), which confirms the deflationary local-activation reading the claim itself adopts — no source contradicts the operative content. A2: ran scale_check.py — demonstrated single-quantum scales (transmon 5 GHz = 3.3e-24 J; NMR J~70 Hz = 4.6e-32 J) sit 31-49 orders below propulsion benchmarks (5e7 to 4.5e17 J), so "some 40 orders of magnitude" is inside the defensible range and unrefutable as worded. || FINDINGS: Decisive texts: (1) S-0023 fulltext: "it does not imply that the energy injected during A's measurement disappears from A's surroundings to appear around B" and "local zero-point energy density activation without energy transfer through the system" — the claim's headline "Energy streaming without a physical carrier" is the one phrase its own refereed source disclaims, but the claim's later sentence ("correlations rather than transport") restores the correct physics. (2) S-0023 Supplemental: "the classical information channel is replaced with a quantum channel" — the NMR realization was fully unitary, no measurement, no classical communication, all three spins in one molecule. (3) S-0024: hardware used deferred measurement (controlled-U + anti-controlled-U); "Hotta's original QET protocol... does require the conditional operations... we used qasm_simulator" — the LOCC circuit was only classically simulated. (4) Live arXiv 2203.16269: "Phys. Rev. Lett. 130, 110801, March 2023" — claim's PRL attribution correct. (5) Live arXiv 2301.02666: "Phys. Rev. Applied 20, 024051, 2023" (v5, 22 Aug 2023) — S-0024 record refereed=false and claim's "preprint" are factually stale, though the error understates the evidence. (6) Scale check: 31.2-49.0 orders of magnitude below propulsion benchmarks brackets the claim's "some 40 orders". (7) E-0054 quote supports the NMR sentence verbatim; E-0055's LOCC sentence is a protocol-level abstract statement, not a description of the executed hardware circuit. Core assertions (QET demonstrated in two 2023 experiments; no macroscopic path; relevance = negative-energy-state engineering) all stand.
