question
What is the equation of state of cold matter at supranuclear densities?
statement
The equation of state of cold matter at supranuclear densities is soft: exotic degrees of freedom — hyperons, boson condensates, or deconfined quark matter — appear near a few times nuclear saturation density and soften the equation of state below what is needed to support the most massive observed neutron stars.

step-4-constructed

Constructed complement minted at step 4b: the corpus asserts the stiff equation of state; the softened alternative is the logically needed competing answer the mass measurements discriminate against.
