Definition

A fictional method described in an AI-written paper that didn't actually match the code submitted with it.

In Fukui-style audits and the ScientistOne paper, a method labeled "STAR" featuring bitwise integer encoding, an O(1) surrogate cost model, and equidistant anchor placement, used as an example of plausibly-described but unimplemented algorithms in AI-generated research.
