Abstract
Given a family of polynomials with integer coefficients f 1 (X), . . ., f k (X), one would like to answer the following question: does there exist infinitely many n ∈ N such that f 1 (n), . . ., f k (n) are all primes?Schinzel conjectured that if these polynomials satisfy certain simple conditions, then the answer to this question is affirmative.Assuming these conditions, Bateman and Horn proposed a formula for the asymptotic density of the integers n ∈ N such that f 1 (n), . . ., f k (n) are all primes.In this text, we shall study the Bateman-Horn Conjecture, as well as a method proposed by Solomon W. Golomb that may be used to prove this conjecture.We shall see that Golomb's Λ-method would prove the Bateman-Horn Conjecture, except for a single unproved step, namely, the commutation of a limit with an infinite series.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
