Abstract
We place several new limits on Lorentz violating effects, which can modify particles' dispersion relations, by considering the highest energy cosmic rays observed. Since these are hadrons, this involves considering the partonic content of such cosmic rays. We get a number of bounds on differences in maximum propagation speeds, which are typically bounded at the ${10}^{\ensuremath{-}21}$ level, and on momentum dependent dispersion corrections of the form $v=1\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}{p}^{2}/{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}^{2}$, which typically bound $\ensuremath{\Lambda}>{10}^{21}\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{G}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{V}$, well above the Planck scale. For ($CPT$ violating) dispersion correction of the form $v=1+p/\ensuremath{\Lambda}$, the bounds are up to 15 orders of magnitude beyond the Planck scale.

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
