Abstract
Bounds are developed for the probability that various randomly generated block Hankel matrices are rank-deficient. These bounds are potentially of use to analyze the efficiency and reliability of various randomized block Wiedemann and block Lanczos algorithms, that are either currently under development or now in use, when these are applied to solve systems of linear equations and sample from the null space of matrices over small finite fields. The bounds that are presented here resemble ones that have previously been obtained using other arguments or that could likely be obtained by straightforward extensions of arguments that have recently been presented. The method used to obtain these bounds in this report is rather different and may be of some interest in its own right: It relies only on estimates of the number of irreducible polynomials of a given degree over a finite field and on elementary linear algebra.

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
