Abstract
Integrated development environments such as Eclipse allow users to write programs quickly by presenting a set of recommendations for code completion. Similarly, word processing tools such as Microsoft Word present corrections for grammatical errors in sentences. Both of these existing structure editors use a set of constraints expressed in the form of a natural language grammar to restrict/correct the user ( syntax-directed editing) or formal grammar ( language-directed editing ) to aid document completion. Taking this idea further, in this paper we present an integrated software system capable of generating recommendations for model completion of partial models built in editors for domain-specific modeling languages. We present a methodology to synthesize model editors equipped with automatic completion from a modeling language’s declarative specification consisting of a meta-model with a visual syntax. This meta-model directed completion feature is powered by a first-order relational logic engine implemented in ALLOY. We incorporate automatic completion in the generative tool AToM 3 . We use the finite state machines modeling language as a concise running example. Our approach leverages a correct by construction philosophy that renders subsequent simulation of models considerably less error-prone.

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
