Abstract
The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that sympathetic vasoconstriction is rapidly blunted at the onset of forearm exercise. Nine healthy subjects performed 5 min of moderate dynamic forearm handgrip exercise during -60 mmHg lower body negative pressure (LBNP) vs. without (control). Beat-by-beat forearm blood flow (Doppler ultrasound), arterial blood pressure (finger photoplethysmograph), and heart rate were collected. LBNP elevated resting heart rate by approximately 45%. Mean arterial blood pressure was not significantly changed (P = 0.196), but diastolic blood pressure was elevated by approximately 10% and pulse pressure was reduced by approximately 20%. At rest, there was a 30% reduction in forearm vascular conductance (FVC) during LBNP (P = 0.004). The initial rapid increase in FVC with exercise onset reached a plateau between 10 and 20 s of 126.6 +/- 4.1 ml. min(-1). 100 mmHg(-1) in control vs. only 101.6 +/- 4.1 ml. min(-1). 100 mmHg(-1) in LBNP (main effect of condition, P = 0.003). This difference was quickly abolished during the second, slower phase of adaptation in forearm vascular tone to steady state. These data are consistent with a rapid onset of functional sympatholysis, in which local substances released with the onset of muscle contractions impair sympathetic neural vasoconstrictor effectiveness.

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
