Abstract
Improved upper and lower bounds on the capacity of wireless optical intensity channels under non-negativity and average optical power constraints are derived. We consider intensity modulated/direct detection (IM/DD) channels with pulse amplitude modulation (PAM). Utilizing the signal space geometry and a sphere packing argument, an upper bound is derived. Compared to previous work, the derived upper bound is tighter at low signal-to-noise ratios. In addition, a lower bound is derived based on source entropy maximization over discrete distributions. The proposed distribution provides a tighter lower bound compared to previous continuous distributions. The derived bounds asymptotically describe the capacity of PAM optical intensity channels at both low and high SNR.

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
