Abstract
For a graph G = (V,E) and a binary labeling f : V (G) → Z2, let vf (i) = |f−1(i)|. The labling f is said to be friendly if |vf (1)−vf (0)| ≤ 1. Any vertex labeling f : V (G) → Z2 induces an edge labeling f∗ : E(G) → Z2 defined by f∗(xy) = |f(x)− f(y)|. Let ef (i) = |f∗−1(i)|. The friendly index set of the graph G, denoted by FI(G), is defined by FI(G) = {|ef (1)− ef (0)| : f is a friendly vertex labeling of G }. In [15] Lee and Ng conjectured that the friendly index sets of trees will form an arithmetic progression. This conjecture has been mentioned in [17] and other manuscripts. In this paper we will first determine the friendly index sets of certain caterpillars of diameter four. Then we will disprove the conjecture by presenting an infinite number of trees whose friendly index sets do not form an arithmetic progression.

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
