Abstract
We study the problem of assigning transmission ranges to the nodes of a multi-hop packet radio network (also known as static ad hoc wireless network) so as to minimize the total power consumed under the constraint that enough power is provided to the nodes to ensure that the network is connected. Precisely, we require that the bidirectional links established by the transmission range of every node form a connected graph. We call this problem Min-Power Symmetric Connectivity. Implicit in previous work on transmission range assignment under asymmetric connectivity requirements is the proof that Min-Power Symmetric Connectivity is NP-hard and that a simple algorithm has approximation ratio of 2. In this paper we establish the similarity between Min-Power Symmetric Connectivity and the classic Steiner Tree problem in graphs, give a polynomial-time approximation scheme with performance ratio approaching 1 + In 2 ≈ 1.69, and present a more practical 15/8 approximation algorithm. We also show that the related Min-Power Symmetric Unicast problem can be solved efficiently by a shortest-path computation in an appropriately constructed graph.

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
