Abstract
This paper presents the program BOUNCE for animating transients on transmission lines. BOUNCE is used for classroom demonstrations of fundamental concepts such as traveling wave, reflected wave, reflection from an unmatched load, and transmission through junctions and branches. BOUNCE provides a "laboratory" for students to use in verifying homework exercises solved with a lattice diagram. BOUNCE is used to demonstrate fundamental principles of logic design, such as ringing because of mismatch at high-impedance gate inputs, the effect of gate-input capacitance, and the effect of logic-gate rise time. BOUNCE graphically demonstrates the transition to the sinusoidal steady state and the concept of a standing wave, as the result of an unmatched load, as an introduction to solving transmission lines with phasors. This paper describes the operation of the BOUNCE program and then discusses various classroom demonstrations and the associated homework exercises.

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
