Abstract
The two classes of maximally flat finite-impulse response (FIR) and all-pass infinite-impulse response (IIR) fractional-sample delay systems are thoroughly studied. New expressions for the transfer functions are derived and mathematical properties revealed. Our contributions to the FIR case include a closed-form formula for the Farrow structure, a three-term recurrence relation based on the interpolation algorithm of Neville, a concise operator-based formula using the forward shift operator, and a continued fraction representation. Three types of structures are developed based on these formulas. Our formula for the Farrow structure enhances the existing contributions by Valimaki, and by Vesma and Sarama/spl uml/ki on the subsystems of the structure. For the IIR case, it is rigorously proved, using the theory of Pade approximants, that the continued fraction formulation of Tassart and Depalle yields all-pass fractional delay systems. It is also proved that the maximally flat all-pass fractional-delay systems are closely related to the Lagrange interpolation. It is shown that these IIR systems can be characterized using Thiele's rational interpolation algorithm. A new formula for the transfer function is derived based on the Thiele continued fractions. Finally, a new class of maximally flat FIR fractional-sample delay systems that exhibit an almost all-pass magnitude response is proposed. The systems possess a maximally flat group-delay response at the end frequencies 0 and /spl pi/, and are characterized by a closed-form formula. Their main advantage over the classical FIR Lagrange interpolators is the improved magnitude response characteristics.

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
