Abstract
Abstract A hole is a chordless cycle with at least four vertices. A pan is a graph that consists of a hole and a single vertex with precisely one neighbor on the hole. An even hole is a hole with an even number of vertices. We prove that a (pan, even hole)‐free graph can be decomposed by clique cutsets into essentially unit circular‐arc graphs. This structure theorem is the basis of our ‐time certifying algorithm for recognizing (pan, even hole)‐free graphs and for our ‐time algorithm to optimally color them. Using this structure theorem, we show that the tree‐width of a (pan, even hole)‐free graph is at most 1.5 times the clique number minus 1, and thus the chromatic number is at most 1.5 time the clique number.

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
