Abstract
This chapter describes what has been learned about the dynamical, strong-field regime of general relativity via numerical methods. There is no rigorous way to identify this regime, in particular since notions of energies, velocities, length and timescales are observer- dependent at best, and at worst are not well-defined locally or even globally. Loosely speaking, however, dynamical strong-field phenomena exhibit the following properties: there is at least one region of spacetime of characteristic size R containing energy E where the compactness 2GE/(c4R) approaches unity, local velocities approach the speed of light c, and luminosities (of gravitational or matter fields) can approach the Planck luminosity c5 /G. A less physical characterization, though one better suited to classifying solutions, involves spacetimes where even in "well-adapted" coordinates the non-linearities of the field equations are strongly manifest. In many of the cases where these conditions are met, numerical methods are the only option available to solve the Einstein field equations, and such scenarios are the subject of this chapter.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
