Abstract
We classify all spherically symmetric dust solutions of Einstein's equations which are self-similar in the sense that all dimensionless variables depend only upon $z\ensuremath{\equiv}r/t.$ We show that the equations can be reduced to a special case of the general perfect fluid models with an equation of state $p=\ensuremath{\alpha}\ensuremath{\mu}.$ The most general dust solution can be written down explicitly and is described by two parameters. The first one (E) corresponds to the asymptotic energy at large $|z|,$ while the second one (D) specifies the value of z at the singularity which characterizes such models. The $E=D=0$ solution is just the flat Friedmann model. The 1-parameter family of solutions with $z>0$ and $D=0$ are inhomogeneous cosmological models which expand from a big bang singularity at $t=0$ and are asymptotically Friedmann at large z; models with $E>0$ are everywhere underdense relative to Friedmann and expand forever, while those with $E<0$ are everywhere overdense and recollapse to a black hole containing another singularity. The black hole always has an apparent horizon but need not have an event horizon. The $D=0$ solutions with $z<0$ are just the time reverse of the $z>0$ ones, having a big crunch at $t=0.$ The 2-parameter solutions with $D>0$ again represent inhomogeneous cosmological models but the big bang singularity is at $z=\ensuremath{-}1/D,$ the big crunch singularity is at $z=+1/D,$ and any particular solution necessarily spans both $z<0$ and $z>0.$ While there is no static model in the dust case, all these solutions are asymptotically ``quasi-static'' at large $|z|.$ As in the $D=0$ case, the ones with $E>~0$ expand or contract monotonically but the latter may now contain a naked singularity. The ones with $E<0$ expand from or recollapse to a second singularity, the latter containing a black hole. The 2-parameter solutions with $D<0$ models either collapse to a shell-crossing singularity and become unphysical or expand from such a state.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
