Abstract
A topological analysis of the gradient vector field of the electron localization function (ELF) has been used to investigate the mechanism of 1,2-silyl migration from oxygen to the carbene carbon in methoxysiloxycarbene. As well, the analogous 1,2-methyl migration was investigated for comparison. Plots of ELF isosurfaces and contour maps clearly reveal that the monosynaptic valence basin corresponding to the carbene lone pair becomes the disynaptic valence basin corresponding to the developing carbon-silicon bond in the transition state for 1,2-silyl migration, while it remains effectively unaltered in the transition state for 1,2-methyl migration. These results suggest that 1,2-silyl migration proceeds via nucleophilic attack by the carbene lone pair at silicon, whereas the energetically unfavorable 1,2-methyl migration appears to involve an anion-like shift from oxygen to the carbene center, in good agreement with previous findings.

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
