Abstract
Consider the Delaunay triangulation T of a set P of points in the plane. The spanning ratio of T , i.e. the maximum ratio between the length of the shortest path between this pair on the graph of the triangulation and their Euclidean distance. It has long been conjectured that the spanning ratio of T can be at most = 2. We show in this note that there exist point sets in convex position with a spanning ratio > 1:5810 and in general position with a spanning ratio > 1:5846, both of which are strictly larger than = 2 1:5708. Furthermore, we show that any set of points drawn independently from the same distribution will, with high probability, have a spanning ratio larger than = 2.

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
