Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract: The starting point of this work is the basic question of whether there exists a formal and meaningful way to limit the computational power that a time bounded randomized Turing Machine can employ on its randomness. We attack this question using a fascinating connection between space and time bounded machines given by Cook [Coo71]: a Turing Machine S running in space s with access to an unbounded stack is equiv-alent to a Turing Machine T running in time 2O(s). We extend S with access to a read-only tape containing 2O(s) uniform random bits, and a usual error regime: one-sided or two-sided, and bounded or unbounded. We study the effect of placing a bound p on the number of passes S is allowed on its random tape. It follows from Cook’s results that: • If p = 1 (one-way access) and the error is one-sided unbounded, S is equivalent to deterministic T. • If p = ∞ (unrestricted access), S is equivalent to randomized T (with the same error). As our first two contributions, we completely resolve the case of unbounded error. We show that we cannot meaningfully interpolate between deterministic and randomized T by increasing p: • If p = 1 and the error is two-sided unbounded, S is still equivalent to deterministic T.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
