Abstract
An analytical framework is presented which justifies the use of a confocal elliptical shield (previously adopted on empirical or numerical grounds) to limit the spatial extent of the radiofrequency (RF) field produced by an elliptical birdcage coil, while concurrently minimizing field inhomogeneities. From this analytical capability it is further shown that the relative linear mode geometric sensitivities depend only on the shield dimensions and can be readily evaluated, thus providing an upper bound to the improvement in signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the damped elliptical birdcage over a circular coil of similar dimensions. The mismatch in the linear mode sensitivities can also be evaluated, and a method for the design of an appropriate feed configuration that ensures quadrature operation is given.

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
