Abstract
Using results from the dielectric theory of polar solids and liquids, we calculate the mesoscopic, spatially-varying dielectric constant at points in and around a protein by combining a generalization Kirkwood-Fröhlich theory along with short all-atom molecular dynamics simulations of equilibrium protein fluctuations. The resulting dielectric permittivity tensor is found to exhibit significant heterogeneity and anisotropy in the protein interior. Around the surface of the protein it may exceed the dielectric constant of bulk water, especially near the mobile side chains of polar residues, such as K, N, Q, and E. The anisotropic character of the protein dielectric selectively modulates the attractions and repulsions between charged groups in close proximity.

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
