Abstract
A Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is an infrastructureless wireless network that can support highly dynamic mobile units. The multi-hop feature of a MANET suggests the use of clustering to simplify routing. Graph domination can be used in defining clusters in MANETs. A variant of dominating set which is more suitable for clustering MANETs is the weakly-connected dominating set. A cluster is defined to be the set of vertices dominated by a particular vertex in the dominating set. As it is NP-complete to determine whether a given graph has a weakly-connected dominating set of a particular size, we present a zonal distributed algorithm for finding small weakly-connected dominating sets. In this new approach, we divide the graph into regions, construct a weakly-connected dominating set for each region, and make adjustments along the borders of the regions to produce a weakly-connected dominating set of the entire graph. We present experimental evidence that this zonal algorithm has similar performance to and provides better cluster connectivity than previous algorithms.

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
