Abstract
A spectral transmission-line method (TLM) is developed for computing dispersion diagrams and eigenmodes of photonic-bandgap structures. By terminating the unit cell with periodic boundary conditions and allowing complex-valued voltages on the mesh, the system's modes may be found as solutions to an eigenvalue equation describing the system at steady state. A combination of sparse matrix techniques that exploit the spectral properties of the TLM scattering matrices enable efficient calculations despite the dimensionality of the eigenvalue equation. In contrast to conventional applications of the TLM, this formulation does not require selection of arbitrary mesh points to compute band diagrams and produces eigenmodes directly from band structure calculations without requiring a time history of the entire mesh and its Fourier transform, or additional frequency-domain computation.

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
