Abstract
Structure solution from powder diffraction data, from either real- or reciprocal-space methods, has generally been thought to require reliable relative intensities to yield a successful solution. An approach is described here which requires no input of the orientation direction when using simulated annealing. The simple addition of a keyword already present in the TOPAS macro language is all that is required to stabilize what otherwise seems like a guaranteed way to destabilize simulated annealing. A recent example with a simple molecular material showed that it is possible, but the more complicated example of triclinic 1A-wollastonite is used to demonstrate that the approach may be more generally applicable. The approach will not work in all cases, but may provide a possible approach of last resort for problems which might otherwise resist attempts at a solution.

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
