Abstract
Presynaptic nerve terminals are located at the ends of nerve cells; a signal propagating through a nerve cell reaches one of these compartments before being transmitted to an adjacent nerve cell. A tethered particle system (TPS) is a type of impulse-based model recently developed for the simulation of deformable biological structures. In a TPS, collisions can cause approaching particles to rebound outwards, as one would expect, but they can also caused separating particles to retract inwards. This paper demonstrates how a TPS can be used to simulate biological systems by presenting its application to a presynaptic nerve terminal. The model captures the clustering of sacs called vesicles in the presence of protein called synapsin. Both rigid and deformable membranes are also described. The simulated presynaptic nerve terminal may be used, for example, to predict how a change in synapsin concentration affects the size of vesicle clusters.

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
