Abstract
We consider a model of random access (slotted-aloha-type) communication networks of general topology. Assuming that network links receive exogenous arrivals of packets for transmission, we seek dynamic distributed random access strategies whose goal is to keep all network queues stable. We prove that two dynamic strategies, which we collectively call queue length based random access (QRA), ensure stability as long as the rates of exogenous arrival flows are within the network saturation rate region. The first strategy, QRA-I, can be viewed as a random-access-model counterpart of the max-weight scheduling rule, while the second strategy, QRA-II, is a counterpart of the exponential (EXP) rule. The two strategies induce different dynamics of the queues in the fluid scaling limit, which can be exploited for the quality-of-service control in applications.

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
