Abstract
Under consideration is the finnite-size scaling of effective thermoelastic properties of random microstructures from a Statistical Volume Element(SVE) to a Representative Volume Element (RVE), without invoking any periodic structure assumptions, but only assuming the microstructure's statisticsto be spatially homogeneous and ergodic. The SVE is set up on a mesoscale,i.e. any scale finite relative to the microstructural length scale. The Hill condition generalized to thermoelasticity dictates uniform Neumann and Dirichletboundary conditions, which, with the help of two variational principles, lead toscale dependent hierarchies of mesoscale bounds on effective (RVE level) properties: thermal expansion and stress coefficients, effective stiffness, and specificheats. Due to the presence of a non-quadratic term in the energy formulas,the mesoscale bounds for the thermal expansion are more complicated thanthose for the stiffness tensor and the heat capacity. To quantitatively assessthe scaling trend towards the RVE, the hierarchies are computed for a planarmatrix-inclusion composite, with inclusions (of circular disk shape) located atpoints of a planar, hard-core Poisson point field. Overall, while the RVE isattained exactly on scales infinitely large relative to the microscale, depending on the microstructural parameters, the random fluctuations in the SVEresponse may become very weak on scales an order of magnitude larger thanthe microscale, thus already approximating the RVE.

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
