Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

When an object is immersed in (or floating on) a fluid, Archimedes' principle states that “the buoyant force acting on the object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.” While this can be readily verified as a quantitative exercise in the laboratory, there are few qualitative demonstrations of the effect that would be appropriate for the classroom. The following describes one such demonstration that requires the students to think carefully about the precise statement of the principle. The demonstration assumes access to a supply of liquid nitrogen.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
