Abstract
Theoretical, numerical and experimental methods are used to develop a comprehensive understanding of how cell shape affects the mechanical characteristics of two-dimensional aggregates such as epithelia. This is an important step in relating the mechanical properties of tissues to those of the cells of which they are composed. Statistical mechanics is used to derive formulas for the in-plane stresses generated by tensions gamma along cell-cell interfaces in sheets with anisotropic cellular fabric characterized by average cell aspect ratio kappa. These formulas are then used to investigate self-deformation (strain relaxation) of an anisotropic sheet composed of cells of thickness h and having effective viscosity mu. Finite element simulations of epithelia and of isolated cells and novel relaxation studies of specimens of embryonic epithelia reported herein are consistent with the predictions of the theory. In all cases, geometric factors cause the relaxation responses to be more complex than a single decaying exponential.

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
