Abstract
By employing the same assumption regarding interslice forces as that used in the Morgenstern-Price method, two concise recurrence relations between interslice forces and interslice moments are derived which satisfy both force and moment equilibrium conditions. The Newton-Raphson method is used for determining the factor of safety and the associated scaling parameter of the interslice force function. Algebraic derivatives required in the solution process are evolved in a recursive manner which can be easily implemented in a computer program. The choices of initial values of safety factor and scaling parameter are suggested. The procedure proposed in this paper proves to be efficient and solutions converge rapidly.Key words: slope, stability, factor of safety, limit equilibrium method.

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
