Abstract
We identify two seemingly disparate structures: supercharacters, a useful way of doing Fourier analysis on the group of unipotent uppertriangular matrices with coefficients in a finite field, and the ring of symmetric functions in noncommuting variables. Each is a Hopf algebra and the two are isomorphic as such. This allows developments in each to be transferred. The identification suggests a rich class of examples for the emerging field of combinatorial Hopf algebras. Nous montrons que deux structures en apparence bien différentes peuvent être identifiées: les super-caractères, qui sont un outil commode pour faire de l'analyse de Fourier sur le groupe des matrices unipotentes triangulaires supérieures à coefficients dans un corps fini, et l'anneau des fonctions symétriques en variables non-commutatives. Ces deux structures sont des algèbres de Hopf isomorphes. Cette identification permet de traduire dans une structure les dévelopements conçus pour l'autre, et suggère de nombreux exemples dans le domaine nouveau des algèbres de Hopf combinatoires.

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
