Every published energy
Grouped by what the number is. The exact energy comes first where there is one; in every other group the lowest unflagged energy is its best value, and each row's distance is to that best (rules §6).
Numerically exact (1)
Exact diagonalization, an exact solution, or sign-problem-free QMC where that is established. An exact energy is shown first, before the best of each other class. QMC is exact only within its error bar, which it must state, and reads exact (stochastic); an exact diagonalization outranks it. For a diagonalization resolved by symmetry sector only the ground state's sector is listed; the lowest energies of the other sectors are the instance's spectrum, in its JSON, and are not shown as the exact energy.
Strict variational upper bounds (4)
Energies that a variational state reached (VMC, DMRG and MPS at finite bond dimension, PEPS, NQS, VQE). Each is an upper bound on the ground-state energy.

Table 2 (Summary of Phase Diagram Scan, 8x8), row J2/J1=0.00: E/N=-0.6735, sigma^2_{E/N}=0.0005, Phase=Neel | J2/J1=0.00 is the unfrustrated NN Heisenberg AFM, matching the candidate's empty-params 'Heisenberg' model. Value -0.6735 vs instance exact_per_site -0.67349005 matches to printed precision; paper states the 8x8 lattice is a 'torus' with 'Periodic Boundary Conditions (PBC)' throughout, matching the P-boundary candidate. | variance reported as 0.0005, not stored: convention not verified

Plotted as a point in Fig. 3(a), not printed in the paper; Table III prints the zero-variance extrapolation over the s >= 1 runs at this L, carried on this instance as an `extrapolated` row. Variance is Var(H)/N^2 in S.S units (see script header); total = var x N^2 x 16.

Table I, row J2=0.00, column '8×8, ViT (this work)' | Table I value is already printed per-site (not total): e.g. 6×6 ED at J2=0.50 prints -0.503809, exactly matching catalog J1J2/square_36_P_0.5 exact_per_site -0.5038096539; the J2=0.00 quoted QMC column value -0.67349005 [29] exactly equals catalog Heisenberg/square_64_P exact_per_site -0.67349005 (and -0.67155266 [29] equals Heisenberg/square_100_P exact_per_site -0.67155266) — confirms direct S·S per-site match, no Pauli conversion needed.
