Abstract
The following analysis was inspired by a question posed by a listener of a radio science show.1 The listener asked the question: “If an astronaut in a space station that was rotating to simulate gravity threw a ball up, where would the ball go?” The physicist answered, “The ball would travel straight across the space station (assuming an open structure). “The main point is that to an outside observer the ball would not “fall” back down as on Earth. As I pondered this it occurred to me that while the answer is correct, it is a special case with a more general solution. Below is an analysis of the motions a thrown object can undergo on a rotating space station. The first part of the discussion is aimed at lower-level undergraduates who have a basic understanding of vectors and circular motion, and the motion is described from the point of view of an external reference frame. Further analysis of the motion by an observer on the space station is appropriate for upper-level students.

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
