Abstract
Abstract. In a previous work we introduced an elementary method to analyze the peri-odicity of a generating function defined by a single equation y = G(x, y). This was based on deriving a single set-equation Y = Γ(Y) defining the spectrum of the generating func-tion. This paper focuses on extending the analysis of periodicity to generating functions defined by a system of equations y = G(x,y). The final section looks at periodicity results for the spectra of monadic second-order classes whose spectrum is determined by an equational specification—an observation of Compton shows that monadic-second order classes of trees have this property. This section concludes with a substantial simplification of the proofs in the 2003 foundational paper on spectra by Gurevich and Shelah [16], namely new proofs are given of: (1) every monadic second-order class of m-colored functional digraphs is eventually periodic, and (2) the monadic second-order theory of finite trees is decidable. 1.

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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
