Abstract
Directed s-t connectivity is the problem of detecting whether there is a path from a distinguished vertex s to a distinguished vertex t in a directed graph. We prove time-space lower bounds of ST=/spl Omega/(n/sup 2//log n) and S/sup 1/2/T /spl Omega/(mn/sup 1/2/) for Cook and Rackoff's JAG model (1980), where n is the number of vertices and m the number of edges in the input graph, and S is the space and T the time used by the JAG. We also prove a time-space lower bound of S/sup 1/3/T=/spl Omega/(m/sup 2/3/n(2/3)) on the more powerful node-named JAG model of Poon (1993). These bounds approach the known upper bound of T=O(m) when S=/spl Theta/(n log n).< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>

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
