I believe it's a theoretical SR-52 that does not have round-off errors, created by Kahan within the paper to explore and explain issues and impacts related to the round-off techniques used in the actual SR-52. I didn't read the whole paper yet so could be wrong, but the intro sections inferred this, so I'm taking a small leap.
